The opportunities for female financial planners - Marie Smith

This week Sam is joined by Marie Smith, Relationship Director at Cooper Parry Wealth. Marie was recently promoted from a Paraplanning manager to her current position and we talk about the lack of females in leadership roles within financial planning. It’s predicted that 53% of UK millionaires will be female by 2025. That’s a lot of wealth that women will need advice on and who will they seek this advice from when currently less than 15% of financial planners are female? This represents a fantastic opportunity for any budding female financial advisers out there and Marie’s success will surely be an inspiration to many. We even get the opportunity to talk about the Foo Fighters so what’s not to like?
