Wealth manager and Financial Planner Evelyn Partners has recruited Certified Financial Planner Reinoud Noorduijn for its Guildford office as it plans further expansion in Surrey.

Evelyn says the hire is part of a plan to increase the number of clients it works with in the county.

Evelyn has expanded its Financial Planning team in Guildford from five advisers in 2021 to 14 today.

Mr Noorduijn joins from Sheraton Financial Planning in Fareham where he spent more than two years and was an Associate Financial Planner.

He will be based at Evelyn Partners’ office at Onslow House, in the heart of Guildford. The office provides a range of financial and professional services including Financial Planning, investment management and tax advice.

Lee Matthews, managing partner in Evelyn Partners’ Guildford office, said: “I am delighted to welcome Reinoud to our growing Financial Planning team in Guildford.

“We are seeing increasing demand for good quality financial advice and to keep up with our ever-growing client base in Surrey wanted to recruit an additional dynamic Financial Planner for our like-minded team. I’m looking forward to working closely with Reinoud as we grow our business and provide great advice to even more clients in the region.”

Mr Noorduijn said: “I am excited to be joining Evelyn Partners’ Guildford Financial Planning team and working with Lee and the wider business to help clients meet their long-term goals and objectives. We have a very comprehensive offering and ambitious growth plans, and my experience in retirement planning and long-term care complements and adds to an established and dedicated team of specialists here in Guildford.”
