Darryl Barr AFPS
Chartered Financial Adviser
|
I have been a fully qualified financial adviser since 2002. Prior to this I spent over 10 years in the industry, working closely with financial advisers helping them to provide financial solutions for clients. As a result, I have a wealth of experience in helping clients understand their finances and achieve their personal objectives.
I advise on a wide range of areas including general investment and retirement planning, reviewing the tax efficiency of portfolios and mitigating inheritance tax. I am a fully qualified Chartered Financial Planner, which is widely accepted as the 'gold standard' qualification for professional financial planners and financial advisers in the UK. I continue to look to improve my knowledge and expertise through industry events and formal training, as this helps to ensure that my advice is relevant and up to date. I also hold specialist qualifications in Pensions, Trusts, Investments, and funding for Long Term Care. |
My Core ValuesWhat drives and motivates me is providing a great service to my clients. To do this it's imperative that I get to know my clients in detail, so that I can understand what's really important to them. As a result, I provide them with financial peace of mind by helping them to achieve their goals and objectives, through clear, well thought out advice and exceptional customer service.
Podium offers a completely independent advice service without restriction or bias. This means that as a fully independent financial adviser, I am able to research the whole of the market, thus ensuring that I’m able to select the most appropriate products and services to meet my client's needs. I have always genuinely believed in the principle of ‘treating clients fairly’ and I will strive to earn your trust through open and transparent communication, objective advice, hard work and a genuine concern for your overall financial well-being. Outside of work |
Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my friends and family. I am married to Sally and have two grown up daughters and a pair of fox red labradors - all of whom tend to keep me busy!
I am a keen cyclist, and although I've now retired from racing, I still enjoy more leisurely rides with friends both locally and on occasional trips abroad. As a result, you’ll often find me out training on my bike in the lanes around my home in Haslemere, Surrey.
I also take an interest in most other sports.
