Dylan Baker
Career Journey
Hailing from South London, I was lucky enough to attend a prestigious private school, Trinity School of John Whitgift, where I completed my education, culminating in my GCSEs.
Having a thirst for independence and wanting to “stand on my own two feet”, I left schooling and joined the workplace at the tender age of 16.
Funnily enough, this was within a Financial Advisory firm, and so the love in with the industry began!
Being young, ambitious and new to the workplace, I was advised to wait until my mid-20s to qualify as a financial adviser, something I knew I clearly wanted to do. I used the time in the interim to hone my skills as a future Adviser.
And so, in the Winter of 2019 and Summer of 2020 I duly completed my qualifications, and Dylan Baker DipFA CeMAP was born.
The rest is history…!

Client Experiences With Dylan
What clients say about working with Dylan, and what they value most.
They work on clients with a bigger pot than I had, so I am not sure if i can give 5/5 without using the full suite of their services. But so far it seems they would be competent and maximize the growth of savings
