Darren Goodall

Chartered Financial Planner

On a day-to-day basis, my primary focus involves meeting with both new and existing clients, as well as maintaining connections within the industry.

In terms of service areas, I don’t specialise in specific areas such as investments or pensions; instead, my approach is centered around holistic financial planning.

As one of the longest-serving members of the company, my role significantly impacts the organisation by overseeing a healthy-sized client bank and ensuring their ongoing satisfaction.

To support clients effectively, I prioritise being available and accessible. I strive to respond to their queries promptly and in a manner that is easily understandable. Building close relationships with clients is crucial to establishing trust and fostering a collaborative environment for effective financial planning.

What's the Best Thing About Working at IFP?

In terms of working with clients, simplifying matters for them and giving them confidence that they are on track to meet their goals. Meeting with and looking after, a variety of differing people from all age brackets and backgrounds and genuinely enjoying spending time with them. Creating trusted relationships, with colleagues and clients alike.

Now for the personal part…tell us about you

I am married and have two sons. I participate in a number of sports, both on a personal level and with my children. I am currently the manager for an under 9s football team, Farsley Celtic Juniors, which takes up a good amount of my spare time! I'm also a keen runner and have successfully completed three marathons. When I'm not running or managing, I frequently attend matches for both Stoke City (football) and Leeds Rhinos (rugby league).

    "The whole process was very easy, it wasn't made complicated and every single step was explained to me. A representative from Informed Financial Planning, came to my house, I didn't feel pressured and I could back out at any time."
