Chartered Financial Planner Nick Bamford aims to keep French wine producers happy in 2015

“My big goal is to increase my consumption of red wine up to the Government recommended level of 21 units per week.

“On a more serious note, I want to run 5k at Cranleigh parkrun in under 26 minutes by the end of June. I also want to take my grandson Barnaby fishing at least six times next year, and take more than five days holiday!

“Reading is one of my favourite things to do; I plan to read at least 50 books in 2015.”

CFP professional Shelley McCarthy is not a fan of New Year’s Resolutions, has a big goal anyway

“To complete my first triathlon! Other than that, I don’t really like making resolutions as they have the power to make you feel bad if you don’t stick to them!”

Also with a triathlon in mind, Chartered Financial Planner Andrew Neligan has a simple and ambitious goal

“To complete Ironman UK in July.”

Our Client Services Director Andy Bamford wants to get better sleep

“I want to be more organised & have a tidy house & desk, also worry less about everyone & everything so I sleep better!”

Chartered Financial Planner Philip Sullivan wants to cut back on the baked goods

“I’ve got three main goals in 2015 – improve my tennis, stop eating as many cakes and keep my clients happy.”

Our Client Services Manager Lizanne Doyle is getting fit and travelling

“My target for 2015 is to continue to strip body fat by increasing muscle mass – measured by mirror image only!”

“I also want to go on my first European bike tour in June 2015 (on the Harley), get the classic car on the road for June 2015 to take my youngest niece to her prom; then enjoy taking her to car shows.

And travel to New York in December 2015!”

Chartered Financial Planner Martin Bamford has a few goals for 2015

“I’m looking forward to completing the London Marathon in April, my first 100 mile ultra marathon in June and, most importantly, getting married to Becky!”
