Lesley's welcome message

Welcome to Independent Women.

Since starting out in financial services over 20 years ago, I have been passionate about raising the bar in responding to women's unique financial needs. My own experiences of marriage, children, growing a business, divorce and general juggling weren't uncommon and along with a wealth of feedback from clients over the years, it was clear that women's financial requirements were often very different to those of men and yet existing services didn't reflect that; practical solutions were often there, but without the depth of understanding or empathy for the emotional upheaval that often accompanies life's challenges.

So I set up Independent Women in 1997, confident that a company of like-minded people could provide a fabulous service for all women.

Our main aim is to ensure that you have the best financial advice available, in a friendly, appealing environment.

The trust you have in your adviser is paramount. That's why we always welcome you to join us for coffee so we can learn more about you and vice versa and we can take it from there. We never make assumptions, but work closely with you to find out exactly what is right for you.

We will outline any costs at your first meeting, so that by the time you leave you have all the information you need to help you decide your next steps.

It's all up to you, but we will support you every step of the way.
