Hello, I'm Alex Hollinshead
Financial Planner
My role involves developing tailored strategies across pensions, investments, and estate planning to provide long-term clarity and confidence in every aspect of their financial life. I can also provide specific expertise in life insurance products.
I was drawn to EQ for its combination of award-winning financial expertise and its strong ethical focus. The firm’s B Corp status and commitment to responsible investing reflect values I share that doing well and doing good should go hand in hand.
Outside of work, I’m a practising artist and enjoy spending time in the studio painting and drawing. I also love reading, travelling with my partner, and staying active.
