National adviser firm Continuum has recruited Chartered Financial Planner Simon Hewitt to help spur its growth plans.
Mr Hewitt has worked in most areas of Financial Planning but specialises in estate planning and tax planning.
He operates from Wimbledon in South West London as well as in North Wales due to family connections in the area. Continuum says in the post-pandemic world, he can deal with clients across the UK using a hybrid working model.
Before becoming a Chartered Planner, he was a commodities trader in the energy industry. He said his career change was prompted by the Retail Distribution Review opening up new opportunities in the profession in 2012.
Mr Hewitt said Plymouth-based Continuum’s commitment to long-term Financial Planning was a major factor in his decision to join the firm.
He said: “I enjoy meeting people and problem solving to help them achieve their life goals by establishing a financial plan for their whole lifetime and succession. Being able to take a long-term view is vital, and it is one of the reasons I was so keen to join the Continuum team.
“I believe the key point in Financial Planning is mutual trust. Building on that trust to establish an ongoing relationship to track and amend my clients’ plan as their life and circumstances change has aways been a priority for me.”
Continuum has also recently added three new support staff and its first in-house recruiter.
