Kevin Kent

About
Growing up in one of the world's most important financial hubs, Hong Kong, Kevin came back to the UK to attend Loughborough University. He worked for a prominent high street bank for many years, gaining numerous professional qualifications along the way, including The IFS Level 4 Diploma for Financial Advisers. In 2011, Kevin was invited to become a St. James's Place Partner Practice and set up his own business. He chose Stowmarket as his base.
'Suffolk is a special part of the country and Stowmarket, with its great links straight into the City, was the perfect place to set up shop. My wife Kat and I spend as much time as we can out in the country with our son Jamie and our two crazy Labradors Charlie and Harry - and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else'.
