Whole of Market Protection Adviser

Royston Charles Bannock
Royston Charles Bannock
Whole of Market Protection Adviser

With over 25 years of experience in financial services, I specialise exclusively in protection advice, helping private clients and businesses arrange appropriate solutions to manage financial risk and protect against the impact of illness, injury, or death. I take pride in having great relationships built on honesty and trust and enjoy helping to make financial concepts easy to understand and therefore more accessible, empowering my clients to make informed decisions that align with their personal goals and long-term aspirations.

My expertise and core focus lies in Protection and Estate Planning, offering tailored advice built around each client’s unique circumstances, specific needs and personal goals. I work closely with a trusted team of highly qualified colleagues who bring deep expertise across savings, investments, retirement planning, and mortgages, ensuring a fully comprehensive service whatever the circumstances.

It’s an unfortunate fact that we all complete our educational years, regardless of courses or subjects chosen with no lessons, teachings, or guidance around even the most basic areas of personal finance even though everyone will need to make essential decisions through their life. My approach has always been to not just advise on products but to help bridge this gap with an approach that is client-first: clear, personal, and committed to building lasting relationships based on trust, financial education, and results to ensure my clients are able to make the best financial decisions for themselves, their families and their future.

Away from the office, I have a passion for a variety of sports and when time and weather allow, playing golf, tennis, or a occasionally a session of carp fishing with close friends.

How has Hamil Mason helped you?

 

I have been having Hamil as my financial advisor for the past ~10 years. He has followed me through all the major changes in my life, career change, country change, home change, and he was always able to make my money work for me in the best possible way. He is a very approachable person, who is a good listener, he understands who I am as a person and he is capable of adapting his message/ strategies to me, my situation. He creates vision, roadmaps and milestones with me so that I can move through life without ever questioning my financials.

How has Hamil Mason helped you?

 

In so many ways. He helped consolidate my shares ISA's and given me access to a great platform. Saving me loads of time and effort. He has given me sage pension advice. By forecasting my financial future Hamil has given me the freedom to enjoy my present. This is true for work and life. Hamil has helped my money anxiety reduce significantly. He has helped me and my partner buy our first property. He has made great recommendations for other professional services (mortgage broker, conveyancer) and where problems arose Hamil listened and acted appropriately. Hamil has given me advice on inheritance tax issues in an empathetic manner. Hamil has given tailored and general advice about marriage, tax, and pre-nuptial agreements. Hamil I'd also helping us to arrange life insurance on our mortgage.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

 

I have seen growth almost year on year, much better than if I would have taken investment guidance from retail providers. I was also able to buy my first property before 30 which was one of my long-term goals. I strongly doubt that I would have been able to achieve this without Hamil's aid.

How has Hamil Mason helped you?

 

I have found Hamil to be more knowledgeable and professional than who I have dealt with previously and he has continued to provide advice, collate and move my pensions to different funds, based on the current state of the market, for over ten years. We have also discussed ISA's as well as unsuccessful overseas property investments (made before I met Hamil), which he's encouraged me to work on for the best way to make financially manageable in the long term.
