Martin Patrick
Client Liaison
Martin brings with him 30 years experience with one of the UK’s largest financial institutions. With a diploma in Financial Services and as a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries, Martin has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He is an Ipswich Town fan, which we try not to hold against him and is an avid tennis player. He thoroughly enjoys putting his knowledge of risk to good use and often follows horse racing at local tracks.
Theo Landman
Client Liaison
Theo started his financial services career in Banking. He then progressed to Private Wealth Management, putting his experience to use in financial services administration. In his spare time, Theo enjoys a good chess game. Unlike his colleagues and their questionable taste in football teams, Theo supports Brighton and Hove Albion.
Danielle Holden
Client Liaison
Danielle has worked within the Financial Services sector for over 20 years. She is highly organised and loves looking after our clients. Away from work, she likes nothing more than long sunny seafront run and spending quality time with her family. With two football mad children her weekends are filled with football, and she also supports Brighton and Hove Albion.
Ceri Williams
Client liaison
Ceri joined us with over 15 years’ experience helping the clients of one of the UK’s largest financial institutions. Ceri bucks the trend at Assets Financial Services and is not an avid football fan but has been known to support Wales in international matches! She is at her happiest gardening and baking, which is great as we all like cake. Ceri also enjoys painting and spending time with her two grown up daughters.
