About Steve

Director

Though he’s lived in Shrewsbury since 1983, Steve hails originally from Liverpool, where he began his financial career. He started with the Halifax and with time under his belt at Liverpool Building Society then Birmingham Midshires Building Society as its Shrewsbury branch manager, he moved on to Scottish Widows.

Steve joined Robert Nicholas after a number of years setting up and then heading the financial services department of a leading Shropshire estate agent.

Married with three children, Steve is a keen golfer who also used to be a very competitive squash player – becoming county over-45 champion (before the knees forced him to settle for a weekly game of raquetball instead!).

As you might expect he’s a life-long Liverpool FC supporter and loves watching football and most other sports.

About Rob

Director

Rob has a 30-year pedigree in financial services, having started his career with TSB (the original one!) before joining Sun Alliance as a financial adviser and then moving on to set up his own independent practice in 1999. Many of the clients from those early days are still clients now and many have become long-standing friends. Rob’s job satisfaction comes from knowing the outcomes of his advice can lead to his clients’ secure retirement, the purchase of a dream home or the knowledge that they have security at a time of loss.

Rob lives locally to Newport with his wife Suzanne and two children. He’s a keen golfer, which he fits around taking his youngest son karting.

His favourite parts of the world to spend time in are the New Forest and Italy – the latter being perfect for indulging the passion he shares with his sons for exotic cars and where they’ve taken the chance to visit the homes of both Ferrari and Lamborghini.
