Sue Hollom
Executive Assistant
Being the in-house executive assistant I am always on hand to help either Ashley or Tony with client duties and also act as a liaison between clients and them both.
At true advice financial services our main aims are for speed of service, clarity of communication and full honesty with our clients. I look to help build towards that mission statement by assisting the advisors wherever I can to speed things up and take things off their busy plates.
I carry out a lot of admin duties, manage the company finances and make sure things are running as smoothly as possible in the office on a day to day basis.
Away from the office I enjoy taking long walks with my husband Tony, collecting more nail polish than I can feasibly use and getting away somewhere hot when the cold English winter sets in.
Why did I get into financial services?
Prior to being in this line of work I held many administrative roles in the finance industry. Being a bank teller for American Express back in my hometown of Brighton was the start for me. Ever since then I have been intrigued into finance and helping people get what they need.
Fast-forward to marrying Tony back in 1993 and not long after that we decided in order for the business to expand it would be best I assisted Tony in the day to day running of the business.
Being the executive assistant really fulfills a lot of my passions with regards to helping people and also having a giggle along the way. It means I am speaking to numerous different people every day which provides a variety that I crave.
My qualifications and experience
In my role I require no formal qualification and have no personal interest in progressing to be a qualified advisor.
