How do you think the pandemic impacted on how people are managing their money?
I think periods of great stress, financially or personally, can sometimes cause people to be more cautious. During the pandemic there has been so much confusion and worry, and we found people were far more cautious when it came to making decisions about their money. Year to date we have seen an increase in enquiries from people seeking advice after a turbulent 2020.
Why is education around money matters so important?
If money wasn’t spoken about around your kitchen table as a child, you could have easily reached adulthood without any sort of financial education. We often joke that your relationship with money is the longest relationship you’ll ever have, so it’s important to try and understand it.

What is your favourite luxury under £10?
