Vicki Skinner

What is your average day like:‍

I would start by taking my cocker spaniel, Ruby, on a nice long walk. I would stop somewhere for a well-earned calorific coffee before heading home and arranging to meet friends for a late lunch somewhere nearby. After lunch I would spend time at home reading or watching a film, before heading to the local pub for a drink or two followed by a curry.

What do you like most about your job?

I have always enjoyed helping people and find this the most rewarding part of my job; the genuine feeling that I have given my clients the tools to make good financial decisions and preparing them for whatever heads their way.

How long have you worked in Financial Services

Over a decade! I started working in Financial Services in 2012, working in administration and paraplanning for a few years before moving into working directly with clients.
