Blacktower already has a long and successful history in the sector, how will you and your colleagues continue to offer value to clients in the next 20 years and beyond?
There’s a real energy in head office and there are always discussions around new ideas, ventures and people joining the Blacktower family. I love being part of that. I think the most important thing for me is to be flexible in my job – if someone needs help with something urgently, I will jump in to do what I can.
Head office is all about providing support for Blacktower at an international level, so I can often find myself talking to our people in all parts of the world on a daily basis. I am learning more about each head office department every day, so that I can help where required. It’s so true that team work makes the dream work.
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself
I am the only born and bred Gibraltarian in the office, I was brought up here and have never lived anywhere else. It’s a lively yet very safe place to live – except for our roads. For anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of visiting, it’s akin to Ho Chi Minh City – mopeds everywhere vying for position on our crowded roads. Along with the increasing number of electric scooters around now, you take your life in your hands on our roads. Nonetheless, I have just applied for my scooter licence and hope to buy one shortly, but I have been told I drive like a granny, so you have nothing to fear from me!

So, you’re wondering – what is ‘robo-advice’? There is a growing market in the UK of online offerings where, instead of going for a consultation with a financial adviser, you use a questionnaire devised by the provider which, depending on your responses, advises you where best to put your cash. Investors are placed in a broad investment strategy that, in theory, suits their objectives and attitude to risk. These strategies largely consist of passive investments which ‘track’ an index.
For expats, when it comes to money, planning ahead is essential so that your financial future remains stable.
