Meet James

Professionally

James has been working in financial services for 34 years, of which 22 years have been as a Financial Adviser. He works with clients and assists them in accumulating wealth and helping them to achieve personal financial goals.

Qualifications

Personally

Rugby and golf have always been James’s main interests, but rugby has turned more into a supporting role as he’s got older and he follows the Scottish national team, particularly the away fixtures.

To replace the violence of the rugby pitch, James has joined the local bowling club in Peebles – after all these years he’s found himself back in a junior section! Among all the above, he is also a taxi service to his teenage children and enjoys watching them play sports.
