Our Team
Ian Ford-Robertson
Owner and Financial Adviser
Meet our team of financial advisers based in Chelmsford, here to support you in creating and managing wealth.
Ian started his career in banking and became an IFA at only age 24. He was the youngest IFA in the country at the time, according to the then regulator.
He set up his own IFA business in March 2022 to create a younger, more dynamic firm, while continuing to look after his long-standing clients. Many clients and their younger families have been advised by Ian for over 30 years.
As well as developing numerous, long standing Private and Corporate Client relationships over the years, Ian is overseeing the growth of the firm, with two recent new entrants to assist him (Harry and James). Ian instils the value of integrity, attention to detail and client care from day one and will continue to champion these causes.
