Some words from Hayley…

Winning the Later Life Advisor of the Year award holds immense significance for me, both on a personal and professional level. This accolade is a culmination of years of unwavering dedication, tireless effort, and commitment to assisting individuals as they navigate their later years.

I aspire to leverage this achievement as a means to transform not only the perceptions of our clients but also those of industry peers. I firmly believe that equity release is not merely a product of last resort, but rather a valuable tool for strategic retirement planning. It’s a powerful financial instrument that deserves broader recognition and understanding.

My hope is to serve as an inspiration to other women in the field of later life advising. I want to encourage them to strive for excellence, continuously refine their skills, and fearlessly challenge the established norms. Through my recognition with this award, I aim to showcase the boundless possibilities and potential within our profession, motivating all women to pursue their aspirations and leave an indelible mark in this field.
