Our Team — Symphony Financial Advisers

Darren Guy DipPFS, Certs CII (MP & ER)

Managing Director & Independent Financial Adviser

Darren has been a financial adviser since 1987 and enjoys helping his clients, particularly in relation to investments and pensions. He aims to make dealing with a financial adviser a pleasant experience!

His hobbies include spending time playing and watching sports with his sons, travelling with his wife Karen, and working as a volunteer speaker for WaterAid, but much of his time is spent driven by his faith. He feels it is important to help and encourage people in this aspect of their lives and so gives talks across the UK and abroad with this aim in mind.
