Three cheers for Ross as he steps up to Financial Adviser
We are delighted to shine a light on our ‘man with a plan’, Ross Aitken, who graduated from the St. James's Place Financial Adviser Academy programme at the end of August.
Ross has been an integral part of the VT Wealth team since January 2020, having first joined us as a trainee Paraplanner. Ross, 26, first received a Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning in 2021 achieved as part the St. James's Place Paraplanning Academy Programme.
Not set on leaving his qualifications there, he put his next plan into action and embarked on a three-month study programme this year to become a Financial Adviser.
A Financial Economics graduate from Dundee University, Ross has always had a keen interest in all things finance related and we are absolutely thrilled his hard work to extend his knowledge in financial services has paid off.
“We are extremely proud that Ross has realised his goal of becoming a Financial Adviser,” says our Director, Vee. “He is such a valued member of our team, a supportive colleague and is at the top of his game professionally. He shares our passion for delivering value to our clients and we are delighted he can now support our clients to achieve their personal and financial goals. On behalf of the VT Wealth team, I’d like to offer Ross our congratulations and wish him continued success in his role.”
Ross, who is originally from Dunfermline, relocated to Aberdeen to pursue job opportunities after graduating from university. With a healthy dose of perseverance and, of course armed with a plan, he set out on his financial services career journey.
“I’m proud to have dedicated the last couple of years to honing my skills and sharpening my expertise in financial services and to now see the result of planning and perseverance is a great feeling. I very much enjoy working with people and helping our clients no matter where they are on their financial journey.”
“I’m a firm believer in preparing for the future as best we can, and the more we can plan ahead for, the better our financial futures will be.”
