Get to know Matt
I have been working at Citywide since April 2021 and currently work as a Paraplanner, supporting David, our Senior Financial Planner, with writing recommendations and drawing up financial plans for clients. I am also starting to transition into an adviser role, and have begun delivering meetings and engaging with our younger clients.
I studied Sport & Exercise Sciences at the University of Leeds and, upon graduating, worked at Evans Cycles in their merchandising team. This gave me the flexibility to train and race (cycling) alongside work. Following a period spent racing in Belgium, COVID brought everything to a halt, which allowed my interest in personal finance and enjoyment working with numbers to flourish, and ultimately led me into financial planning.
I have trained in a variety of different sports, and currently enjoy CrossFit, Jiu Jitsu and running. I have also recently moved house with my partner, so I am doing lots of DIY and learning many new skills because of it!
