Benjamin Beck - from the army to financial planning and mentoring the next generation of financial planners.

This week's guest on the financial planner life podcast is wealth adviser Benjamin Beck from Nigel Grice and associates.

Born and raised in Norway, Benjamin moved to England aged 21, and spent 6 years in the Army before starting a career in financial planning. 

Let’s face it, getting into the financial planning profession without any experience can be difficult and confusing, and it was no different for Benjamin.  

This is why Benjamin has taken to LinkedIn to offer free career guidance and mentorship to those just starting out on their financial planning journey.
