Bobby Sherlock

Director
Bobby is part of the fabric of Stan Sherlock Associates, having worked in the business from when he was a teenager! Bobby’s Dad set up the business in 1989 when Bobby was just 6. In 2014 Bobby took the hotseat as Managing Director after his dad retired. His passion is creating great client outcomes, and he loves how much of a positive impact what he does can have on someone’s life. Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his young family, outdoors wherever possible. Also taking on physical challenges that he’s not really sure he can complete!

She is passionate about finding new ways to get our message out there so we can help even more people create a brilliant financial plan.
