Financial adviser in Poynton
I'm Max Gallagher (DipPFS, CeMAP), a financial adviser with Financial Options Group, an Appointed Representative of Quilter, and I work with clients across Poynton, from the shops along Park Lane to the canal and the Middlewood Way up in Higher Poynton. Poynton is an unusual place, a one-time Cheshire colliery village that grew into a commuter town on the Macclesfield line, and that history shows in the finances I see here: careers split between Manchester, Stockport and the science employers to the south, with pensions scattered to match.
My office is in Walshaw, near Bury, but much of my week is spent out visiting clients, and Poynton sits comfortably within my patch, along with Adlington and Prestbury next door, so we can meet over a coffee near Fountain Place, at your kitchen table, or by Teams or phone if the commute from Poynton station leaves you short of daylight. The first meeting is free and carries no obligation: we talk through where you stand and where you want to get to, whether that is more mornings around Poynton Pool in retirement or a move for the schools, and I then come back with clear recommendations you can weigh up in your own time.
Who I help in Poynton
- Years of commuting from Poynton station into Piccadilly tend to leave a trail of workplace pensions behind them, and I help you round them up and see what they really add up to.
- Plenty of Poynton households work in the pharmaceutical and science hubs towards Macclesfield and Alderley Park, where workplace pensions and share schemes deserve a proper review.
- Families arriving from Stockport and south Manchester for Poynton's schools and its Peak District doorstep want the mortgage side settled before they start viewing.
- If you bought near Poynton Park or the Pool decades ago, your estate may quietly have grown into inheritance tax territory, and it is worth understanding your position early.
Whether your working life has run up the line to Manchester or south towards the Macclesfield science campuses, I help Poynton residents pull scattered pensions together into one clear picture of the retirement they can plan for.
From first homes near Park Lane to family houses in Higher Poynton and the newer developments at Woodford next door, I help Poynton buyers, movers and remortgagers find lending that fits their plans.
Your first conversation is free, with no obligation to proceed.
