Shaun Dixon
Business Principal
Chartered Financial Planner
Shaun established Kingsland Wealth Management in 2002. With over 35 years of experience, he now leads a team that has successfully helped over 1,000 local families and businesses to meet their individual financial goals – an enduring personal motivation for Shaun. His mantra of ‘live life to the full’ also sees him cycling for charity, improving his wildlife photography, camper-vanning with his wife and dogs – as well as tending to his much loved vegetable patch.
Catherine Gough
Business Principal
Chartered Financial Planner
Cath is renowned for her passion for delivering exceptional service to our clients. Having worked in financial services for over 25 years, Cath is both a Chartered Financial Planner and a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society. As one of the small number of female financial advisers in the UK, Cath is uniquely placed to help our female clients, who are often less comfortable with seeking financial advice. She has spoken internationally on financial services and regularly contributes to financial services publications. In the brief hours out of the office, she ‘enjoys’ CrossFit training five times each week.
Sam Lakin
Financial Planner
Peter Smith
Paraplanner
Peter first entered the financial services sector as an IFA back in 1991. And in 2012 he joined Kingsland as a Paraplanner – bringing with him his considerable experience and knowledge of the personal and corporate financial planning world. Peter’s life is always busy, as a father of three and now a grandfather to four – he particularly values his time with his grandchildren with a good dollop of ‘Dad Joke’ humour thrown in ! When he does get some time to himself he can often be seen ‘pounding the streets’, and has taken part in a number of half marathons in the (increasingly distant!) past…
