I attended The Holgate Academy from 2005 to 2010, and the friendships I formed there have lasted a lifetime. I feel incredibly privileged to have had the opportunities The Holgate Academy provided, thanks to its dedicated and talented teachers. One standout for me was Mr Ellis, who remains a major role model to this day.
After leaving The Holgate Academy, I explored various career paths before finding my niche as a financial adviser at St. James’s Place Wealth Management. My role involves sitting down with individuals and families, helping them plan their finances and, in many cases, work towards retiring early. It’s an incredibly rewarding career, offering the perfect blend of finance and meaningful personal interaction.
For anyone interested in finance but looking for something more engaging and people-focused than traditional accounting, I’d highly recommend exploring this industry. It’s a career that not only challenges you but also allows you to make a real difference in people’s lives.
