Van Bw Jpeg

Director

Qualifications

Van holds the Diploma in Financial Advice from the Chartered Insurance Institute.

Experience

With a career in financial services spanning more than three decades, Van brings a depth of experience and professional insight to his role at Throgmorton. He began his financial services journey with Prudential plc in 1993, where he built his technical foundations and earned his initial qualifications, before going on to hold senior roles at some highly respected firms over the following 30 years.

In 2022, Van became an independent financial adviser. Throughout a long and distinguished career, it is long-term client relationships that have always driven Van, and he finds this to be the most rewarding aspect of his work.

Business

Beyond his advisory practice, Van is a central member of Throgmorton's management team, where he plays an active role in shaping the firm's strategic direction and supporting its continued growth. Van is also a member of the Investment Committee.

In his client work, Van has developed a particular specialism in inheritance tax planning, an area of growing significance as fiscal changes continue to increase the IHT burden on families across the country. He collaborates closely with clients to cut through the complexity, identifying solutions that are practical, effective, and carefully tailored to their individual circumstances. For many people, good IHT planning can make a profound difference to the wealth they leave behind; Van is committed to ensuring his clients have every opportunity to protect it for future generations.

Personal

Outside of work, Van is a passionate golfer, drawn as much to the competitive challenge of the game as to the discipline and wellbeing it demands. He also maintains an active interest in the world of early-stage business investing, occasionally backing and supporting new ventures where he sees genuine potential.
