What matters most to Matthew about working for Hartsfield?

Believe it or not, I first encountered Hartsfield as a client. After reviewing my own pension, I got in touch with the team for expert advice. From the very beginning, I was inspired by the genuine interest they took in me as a client.

Fast forward three years, and I couldn’t be happier. I have the autonomy to really help people, whatever it takes, and I take pride in seeing my clients’ plans develop year on year on year. The Wiltshire Team I am lucky enough to be part of genuinely care about all of our clients, we all work together with every client, like a well-oiled machine.

What matters most to Matthew about his specific role?

My passion is for future-proofing finances for generations. Helping people to see how decisions made today can drastically change their future, is really fulfilling. I feel like I am making a real difference to people’s lives by really understanding why they are seeking advice. I think it is really important to establish peoples’ motivations behind wanting to strengthen their financial plans.

In December 2023, I worked to achieve the Certificate in Financial Wellbeing – the learnings from which I now implement with every client I work with. This moves away from the conventional approach to financial advice, and I feel gives my clients an entirely personalised approach where they are totally engaged in finding out how I can help.

What matters most to Matthew outside of work?

My Family are the centre of everything I do. I have 2 beautiful daughters, Florence and Willow, who are growing up far too quickly. Whilst I hope I teach them something new everyday, they certainly teach me something new too!

My wife and I enjoy as much time outdoors with them as possible, with National Trust days out and trips to the coast. Weymouth is a favourite of ours. Katie and I also have 2 dogs, who love a brisk walk, and luckily only in fair weather.

I love cooking, and learning new skills in the kitchen, to which I am endlessly adding a new gadget or two. But outside of the home and my family, I would love to improve my golf game. I really enjoy a round of golf, and failing that, just a visit to the driving range. A good round for me is leaving with as many golf balls as I arrived with!
