A bit about Oliver…

After gaining his CeMAP qualification, Oliver began his career in financial services in 2007 as a mortgage adviser specialising in remortgages. In 2010, after gaining invaluable experience helping individuals and families, of all walks of life, rework their finances to improve their lives, Oliver found the confidence to launch James Leighton Financial Services. His objective was to offer the full spectrum of financial services to his customers and whilst building a new and loyal client base, gained his Diploma in Financial Advice, which allowed him to advise his clients on the pensions and investments. After building a relationship with a new build developer in 2011, with Oliver at the helm, the firm saw exponential growth from a sole trader to the firm that we see today, with a team of around 50 professionals, national coverage and a reputation as one of the foremost new specialists in the country. Oliver believes that the success of the firm is down to one of the firm’s core values which is to genuinely care about their customers and by focussing on improving their lives. By treating each customer as if they are a member of the family has helped build real trust and long term repeat business.

Oliver’s interests out of work centre around spending time with his daughter, enjoying holidays in the UK and abroad and, when he has time, furthering his passion for sportscars.
