Lester Killip FPFS
Chartered Financial Planner
I have worked in financial services since 1982, initially with leading building societies and insurance companies before becoming an adviser in 1992 at Woolwich Independent Financial Services. A career within Woolwich Barclays led to senior management positions culminating with holding a Regional Manager position for Barclays’ independent adviser team.
I then moved, in 2004, to running the American Express financial services business. After Amex FS was bought by a large national IFA, I held senior positions within the Thinc /Bluefin advice network, and AXA.
In 2010, I joined Steve Antram in expanding Antrams Financial Services and have focused on advice to high-net-worth clients ever since. I also work on the Defined Benefit transfer advice committee as a specialist in this area.
I am a Chartered Financial Planner and have achieved the fellowship from the Personal Finance Society. Becoming a Fellow of the Personal Finance Society shows that I have attained and maintained the most prestigious level of professional achievement. This demonstrates my knowledge and technical capability and my ongoing commitment to professional development.
I am also a Pension Transfer Specialist (PTS) able to advise on complex pension areas including advice on Defined Benefit pension schemes.
I have been married to Elise for 26 years and have two fantastic daughters. I am a very keen golfer having played longer than I have worked, but still not got the hang of the game!
It is without hesitation that we would highly recommend Antrams and in particular Lester Killip and Phil Revell. Throughout our dealings with Antrams, we have experienced an exceptional level of care, professionalism, and efficiency. We truly believe that what we achieved with Antrams we would have struggled to achieve with another company – a huge thank you from the Porter Family.
