John at work

John has worked in financial services since March 1987 and founded Barrington Hamilton in February 2009. He is a lifestyle financial planner and specialises in helping clients prepare for retirement by answering their “big” questions. Because of his pensions expertise, he works with several trusted family and divorce lawyers.

 

John at home

John has been married to Lee since 2006 and has two adult children. Outside of work, he enjoys reading, especially history books, fly-fishing, gardening and supporting Leeds United. The family has two cute Jack-A-Poos, Archie and Winnie, and they love walking them at weekends.

John is actively involved with Neuroendocrine Cancer UK and was delighted to be asked to become an ambassador. His “alter ego’ is Financial Guidance Guy, offering free financial guidance and opinion to families affected by neuroendocrine cancer.
