Financial Advisors
Mark Adams (DipPFS)
Managing Director & Financial Planner
Mark began his career in Financial Services in 1983. He started his first independent advisory business in 1987 just two weeks after the great stock market crash—certainly an interesting time to start!
For Mark, his career has always been about forging meaningful long-term client relationships in order to foster confidence and mutual trust. He believes that the highest level of integrity is the key to maintaining these relationships and Mark is enjoying business life working with his clients and his colleagues.
In his spare time, he likes to spend time with his family; he also likes trying to keep fit, by running, or visiting the gym. He is content to be an avid spectator of most sports, but his favourites are Rugby Union and Football.

Faith Wignall (Cert CII MP)
Mortgage & Protection Specialist

The business structure is as follows:
The Adviser Team
The individual staff within this team all adhere to the ethos and supportive culture of the business. Each individual is encouraged to share ideas; and in many cases, we draw on each other’s expertise and work together where necessary to ensure best outcomes for our clients.

Cambourne handled our company SSAS pension scheme very successfully for over 20 years. Upon retirement they converted this to individual SIPPs, plus an annuity. Since retiring in 2005, my personal SIPP has been excellently managed. We have regular reviews and Cambourne also advise on some of my personal funds, in addition to the SIPP. Cambourne monitor various funds and keep me informed on all issues and understand my individual needs
