Hamblin-Martin Financial Ltd

Hamblin-Martin Financial Ltd is an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) providing bespoke financial planning and wealth management to individuals and small businesses.

Founded by Barry Hamblin, an IFA with over 30 years financial services experience, Hamblin-Martin Financial Ltd is authorised and regulated to advise on and arrange investments, pensions, protection (such as life assurance and critical illness), and mortgages including equity release.

We offer a highly personal service to our clients, from whom we regularly receive referrals, which has allowed us to grow organically since starting up in 2015.

We provide our services on a remote basis via video calling, or face to face at your home or other convenient place subject to location.
