Mel Kenny - Chartered Financial Planner
Mel is an experienced planner with a broad knowledge of client issues and is an Associate of the Institute of Financial Planning. He has a background in economics including a BA (Hons) in Economics, an MSc in Business Economics and a stint at the Norwegian School of Economics.
Mel believes the key to financial planning is to take a thought provoking approach to finding a client’s personal “number” – the amount of money a client will need to enjoy the active life they desire.
As well as the practical issues, Mel has a significant technical capability especially in the area of retirement planning, whether it be building up, transferring or drawing down money.
He likes to tell it how it is rather than skirt the issue and this is evident in his regular contributions to the Radcliffe & Newlands blog, Clearbox. Mel is often asked for comment by the press, to speak at presentations and can also be followed on Twitter.
Out of the office, Mel enjoys keeping fit and attending major sporting events.
