I am a part of the team that create the reports detailing our recommendations for each client. This involves carrying out extensive research, so that we can evaluate products and match them with the financial goals of each client. While the reports are extensively researched, and in some places technical, they need to be written in a format which is easy to understand.
What's the Best Thing About Working at IFP?
Working with a supportive and friendly team. I am lucky that I work in an environment where everyone works well together, and I now consider some of my colleagues (both past and present) some of my best friends! It really helps to have a team around you that you can trust, and you can get on well with, I know that I will be supported by my team and in turn, they know I will support them.
Now for the personal part…tell us about you
In my spare time, I love travelling to new countries and cities. 2 years ago, I was lucky enough to spend 2 months travelling Australia, Thailand and Bali, and this year I am visiting Morocco, Spain, Croatia and Greece. I love having new experiences and seeing the cultures of different countries.
Give us a fun fact
A fun fact about myself is that I completed a Skydive! One of the most scary but unforgettable experiences of my life.
