Ashley Hollom
Independent Financial Advisor
As an independent financial advisor I provide tailored advice to my clients in the areas of pensions, investments, mortgages and protection. I offer advice on all areas of personal and business finance and can therefore help a wide variety of clients whether that be someone looking to find lost pensions or needing a mortgage to buy their first home.
My advice is fully independent and whole of market across lenders, banks, investment funds, pension providers and insurers. I want what is best for the client and their scenario and like to make these solutions feel and sound simple.
Outside of work I enjoy playing football and golf whenever I can along with exploring new countries and going on hikes.
Why did I get into financial services?
The overarching reason why I wanted to join the industry is to help clients from all backgrounds meet their financial goals. It was also lucky that my father Tony had so much experience and wisdom in the area which I could learn off directly.
He has passed this onto me and with my knowledge of all this technology I have helped the business be able to assist clients faster and with greater ease. Meaning everyone benefits.
I like using this outlook to make sure clients get what they need. Whether that be a first time buyer looking to purchase their first property, a family of four making sure they are properly protected with the relevant insurance, or someone looking to plan for their retirement.
This attitude has led to long standing business relationships with clients coming back for help with all sorts of things. As they know I will always be at the end of the phone to help them with their needs.
My qualifications and experience
Having been in the sales industry for many years prior to becoming a financial advisor, the communication side of the job came naturally to me. On top of that though there was obviously a lot of training and studying to be done to get qualified to advise.
I am fully CeMAP qualified [certificate] and have been advising since 2018.
In 2026 I also qualified as a Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA) holder [certificate], allowing me to provide full independent financial advice across pensions, investments, mortgages and protection.
In addition to these qualifications, as an advisor I go through constant training and testing via our network New Leaf Distribution who also insures us for our services.
Above New Leaf is the FCA where we you can see here that we are registered. This also shows our connection to New Leaf Distribution along with the advice we are allowed to give. There is also vital information on there about how you, the customer, are protected.
As well as these credentials you can also see my personal listing on the FCA register here.
