The Team

John Broom

Director / Pension Transfer Specialist

John has worked in the financial services industry since 1984 and set up his first IFA practice in 1992. The key goal of creating specialist areas that could partner with other IFA firms has been a driver, the team developed a separate Wills, Trusts and probate company in 2013 which works predominantly with IFAs, accountants and solicitors around the county.

In 2014 a payroll and workplace pension specialist company was set up in our offices to assist in setting up the compulsory schemes.

Continuing this philosophy, John founded Pension Income Planning Ltd in 2016 after identifying a need for a specialist firm offering advice on deferred defined benefits. Pension Income Planning Ltd is on the Simply biz national panel and works with companies all around the UK providing high quality pension transfer advise.

This is a continually evolving industry, particularly in this niche area of advice. John and his team constantly work on improving the process and the service provided by Pension Income Planning Ltd, and to ensure a smooth service for client and introducers and the right outcomes.
