Rob at home
Rob is married to Tina. They live in Lubbesthorpe and can usually be found exploring Leicestershire by foot or tandem bicycle.
They have three children, all at various stages of being ‘grown up’.
Rob played around 1000 gigs as a drummer, singer and guitarist before calling it day and is now content jamming with his son in the garage.
Rob in the spotlight
On an ideal weekend, you can find me:
Doing anything that gets me outdoors and moving around.
When the dessert menu arrives, I’m looking for:
Black decaf, I can’t eat gluten or diary which pretty much rules out most dessert options unless they’re made from pure sugar (or dust)!
My favourite part of the day is:
Mornings. Best time of day for a jog or ride in the sticks.
In the film adaptation of my life, I hope to be played by:
Me. Because it means I’m not dead yet!
My proudest moment was:
Delivering our youngest. He came too quick for help to arrive.
The three words my colleagues would use to describe me are:
Loud. Noisy. Unquiet.
I turn the radio up when they play:
Old skool funk, soul and disco.
My favourite holiday is:
I love the British countryside and coastlines, especially East Devon.
Finally, some important information
All regulated financial advisers must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and therefore appear on their register. You can find Rob’s entry by clicking here.
Furthermore, all advisers must have an up-to-date Statement of Professional Standing (SPS). This shows they are suitably qualified and have carried out the required amount of Continuous Professional Development (CPD). Again, consumers should be wary of any advisers who refuse to provide copies of their SPS. You can click here to view.
