How I like to spend my time outside work
Keeping fit, running and mountain biking days, and going out with friends and family to restaurants and holidays.
The important stuff
Richard is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), registration number REP01031.

Richard in the spotlight
You make life easy for us to enjoy. We don’t have to worry about our finances as you look after our finances in the same way as you look after your own.
A very big thank you to Adam at Warwick Financial Solutions for continued support on a range of financial matters from financial planning to savings and pension advice.
I was able to relax knowing that the queries and complexities of dealing with providers of my pension were being handled for me.
Everything is clearly explained and nothing is too much trouble for this professional and friendly team.
Richard helped me by explaining my options for retirement. He took time to understand my goals and objectives and helped me plan for the future.
I am very happy with the personal approach and understanding of my financial requirements by Greg.
Richard takes the time to understand our objectives, analyse our situation, and explain his findings without being patronising. He is straightforward and highly professional which is why we trust his advice.
July 2020
I have always found your company and your team to be very informative, helpful and well-organised. Following your suggestion to inform HMRC of the change in my investments, I have just received a cheque from them. I am delighted that I took your advice!
