North Cumbria based family firm, Stan Sherlock Associates, can now help clients further afield. The Financial Planning Firm has taken on a new adviser in the Blackburn area to offer their services to North Lancashire and South Cumbria.

Laura Shufflebotham joins SSA as an holistic adviser offering clients advice on pensions and investments, mortgages and insurances. Laura has worked in financial services for 20 years and brings with her a wealth of experience from all sides of the industry.

Laura says: “I am delighted to be joining the Stan Sherlock Associates family to help expand their business and provide more people with the value of tailored financial planning. I’ve worked in financial services since I was 16 and feel very passionate about making sure people have good solid plans in place to see them through to retirement. Stan Sherlock Associates is a well-established and trusted family firm and I’m excited to be bringing it to Blackburn, North Lancashire and South Cumbria.”

The firm was set up by Stan Sherlock in 1989 and a move to the North Lancashire area is the perfect fit as many of the Sherlock family members still live in and around Stan’s old stomping ground, Lancashire.

Practice Principal and financial adviser Bobby Sherlock says: “Our family is very fond of the North Lancashire area. My dad’s family still live in and around the area and it was a huge part of our lives growing up. My dad even played for the Preston Grasshoppers in the late 70s. To have Laura carry the Stan Sherlock Associates flag for us in the area makes me feel very proud. Laura’s values and work ethic are akin to our own, and her passion and care for her clients aligns perfectly with the services we offer as a firm. To be able to offer our services to more clients in an area we feel strongly tied to is a privilege, and one I whole heartedly trust Laura with.”
