"I Didn’t Realise How Big This Could Be Until I Joined” - Stuart McDonald’s Story at Hoxton Wealth
In this episode of Hoxton Life, Sam Oakes heads to Liverpool to sit down with Stuart McDonald, a financial planner who made a bold move after 14 years in the industry.
Stuart left a comfortable position at a traditional firm to join Hoxton Wealth - and within just one year, he's now Director of the Liverpool office. But this isn’t just about a new job title. It’s about stepping into an environment that finally matched his ambition.
In this episode, Stuart opens up about:
- Why he left his old firm after 8 years
- How he built a niche working with professional footballers, coaches, and club executives
- The growing demand for international financial planning - and how Hoxton makes it seamless
- Why intrapreneurship at Hoxton beats going it alone
- What it’s really like building a practice inside a fast-growth, supportive business
“There’s a lot of noise around athletes - my job is to help them tune it out and focus on their future,” Stuart says.
This episode is for financial planners who feel stuck. For those who want the freedom to grow, but not the stress of going solo. For the entrepreneurial thinkers who are ready to build something bigger - with the right people around them.
