Headshot of Darren Parker

I have been a financial adviser since 1996 having previously worked for Yorkshire Bank then qualifying with The Co-Operative Insurance Society. I left in 2006 to become an Independent Financial Adviser and have never looked back!

My particular areas of interest are investments and pensions - both pre and post retirement. I have focused my study around retirement planning since 2008 and consider this to be my specialty.

I get great satisfaction from helping people make good choices leading up to retirement and continue the good work for those requiring service into retirement i.e. with our Flexi-Access Drawdown clients. Our long term goal is to be your “trusted advisor”...

My spare time tends to revolve around family and fitness (and in that order for now). I enjoying racing multiple distance on trail, road and in open water. I am very proud to represent Selby Striders running club and Lion Squad for multisport, where my training has progressed to full distance triathlon.

Client testimonials

Vouched for verified client West Yorkshire

Always been at the end of the phone to help guide me when reaching all those little milestones that lead towards retirement. Sometimes to offer help and guidance, sometimes just to help me understand the jargon and implications.

Vouched for verified client West Yorkshire

Darren was personable from the very first conversation I had with him on the telephone. He

suggested different options available to us and left us to decide which we thought would be

the best for us to take. He didn't rush us with any decisions that had to be made and was

patient...

It would be difficult to find something that he could have done better!!

Darren initially offered financial advice on investing. Has since advised on pensions, setting up

a directors pension for myself and my wife. Also transferred some underperforming work

pensions for myself/wife.

Vouched for verified client North Yorkshire

Darren has been exceptional, he looked at our pensions from our previous employers to see if

it was best to amalgamate them together or to leave them as they are at present with annual

reviews. Not only have we done pensions with Darren we have also done savings for the

future...

Darren has looked at how the forecast predicted for the future and how much we could

comfortably live on. We have a online portal than we can regularly look at to watch our

investments.

From the onset, Darren has helped us by providing the information we required for our

situation and what we needed for now and the future.
