About us

Who we are

We are a friendly, family-run advice firm, offering independent advice across the Midlands with over 30 years combined experience in the industry. Being independent means any recommendation will be based on an assessment of a range of relevant products that are sufficiently diversified in terms of type and provider to ensure your investment objectives can be suitably met. We are a husband and wife team who started working together over 15 years ago. We share a passion for helping people to better understand their finances. We agree that the best part of our job is helping people achieve their financial goals.

What we believe

At Millward Wealth, we believe financial advice should be easy to understand and tailored to exactly meet the needs of each individual client. We believe that financial advisers should be honest, friendly and speak in a language you understand in addition to being experts in their field. We have three children who are already signed up to the “Millward Academy of Financial Advice”. We have welcomed into our family a team of support, research and compliance specialists who work alongside us to ensure the highest quality of advice for all our clients.

What our clients say

“Simon set up, and took on the management of, an investment portfolio. I can honestly say I would not have known how to navigate the complexity of it all and make the most of my options without him. Throughout Simon was exceptionally clear, well-informed, pro-active, supportive and helpful, and a great pleasure to deal with. I could not recommend someone more highly…. The outcome far exceeded my expectations… The process, too, was much easier and straightforward than I expected –all thanks to Simon’s knowledgeable and clear advice and guidance.”

Naomi
Professor

Lisa asked me what I wanted from my money and advised me without being pushy. I felt she understood what I needed and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing advice. she has always been readily available when I had any questions. I feel she is always keeping an eye on things for me. I feel so secure knowing you are keeping an eye on things for me!

Jo
Receptionist

“With Simon’s help and advice, all my separate pension pots have since been consolidated such that there is now a much better Investment Plan in place. Having since taken early retirement, Simon has provided excellent advice and guidance as to the most efficient route that we should be taking in releasing funds from our savings and pension pots. This in turn has given us much confidence for the future, and we look forward to Simon’s ongoing assistance and support accordingly.”

Malcolm
Newly retired technician.

“Lisa makes the options clear, giving a great understanding of the pros and cons. She makes the risks clear as well as the rewards, and does not overstate either. She is warm and listens well, but she is also very efficient and does not waste your time. She makes it simple but is not simplistic. She is incredibly helpful, even sorting through our old piles of pension paperwork and weeding out what we needed to keep and what we could destroy. When things change in the market Lisa gets in touch proactively to suggest tweaks to the portfolio. She is incredibly approachable but also very professional. Couldn’t be happier. I have walked way from 2 Financial Advisors before Lisa, but she is a keeper!

Jaqueline
Director

“Lisa thoroughly reviewed our portfolio. Outlining convincingly that it was feasible. Proactively came up with a comprehensive plan. She took on board our situation and considerations receptively. Very friendly and easy to get on with… We can’t fault Lisa. We had quotes and advice from three financial advisors. But her approach was more energetic, friendly and responsive. Plus myself and wife got along with her very easily.”

Peter & Janet
Retired

“Simon is very knowledgeable and explains options clearly.  I feel confident that he is giving me very good advice and he takes time to talk to you and understand your particular circumstances.  I am really happy with the service I get from simon.  He is the expert and I went to him as I did not want to invest money without getting advice from someone who knows and understands the markets.”
