A lifetime resident of Bristol, Paul started his career in financial services back in 1994 with Royal London, after 18 years as an electrician at Rolls Royce Filton.

After 5 successful years with Royal London Paul made the decision to become self employed and became an adviser with Allied Dunbar. The client bank started to expand rapidly and the ability to operate as a sole trader became increasingly difficult. At this point, and after having known Chris & Linda for some years Paul accepted the offer to form Gardiner Page & Roe financial planning.

Since the inception of the business in 2000 Paul’s client bank has continued to grow year on year as has Chris and Linda’s.

The ability to share the vast amount of experience that each partner brings has been priceless over the years. “A problem shared is a problem halved”.

Paul has achieved all the required diploma qualification levels to enable him to advise on investments, pensions, protection, IHT planning , mortgages and business planning.

Now a very keen golfer and lifetime motorcycle fan Paul has always been interested, and been a participant in most sports over the years. With two boys, Callum and Cameron and a very supportive wife in Tara, Paul is a dedicated family man.

“I like to feel I bring honesty and understanding to each and every one of my clients in helping and advising them to achieve their goals”.
