Professionally

Howard has worked in the industry for over 30 years and has a DIP FA from the London Institute of Banking. Howard joined us recently after merging his company, Howard Anthony Bartley – Financial Planning Consultants, with KBA. Howard has known our Founding Father, Ken Bates since 1997 and our Company Director, Sarah Hogan, since 2007 so it was a natural fit to merge the two companies with them having similar culture and work ethic.

Personally

When not at work, you can find Howard walking in beautiful settings, exploring the best of what nature has to offer. After a nice walk in the country, his next port of call will be the pub with real ale and a classic pub lunch.
