An update from Sam Binstead, Investment Director at Chilvester
I wanted to share an important update about our leadership team.
Andy Tottman, our Managing Director, has recently been dealing with a serious health issue and has stepped back from his day-to-day role so he can focus entirely on his health and family. His focus right now is entirely where it should be.
Many of you will know Andy personally, and I appreciate this will be significant news for those who have worked closely with him. I know you will join me in sending him your very best wishes.
I want to reassure you that you will continue to receive the same personal service from Chilvester. Our management team — myself, Shane, Ian and Jess — together with our wider colleagues, will ensure the high standards of service you expect from us.
One of Andy’s core beliefs has always been that Chilvester’s strength lies in its team approach. He helped shape the business so that clients are supported by a collective, not solely by an individual adviser. That ethos is now more important than ever, and the whole team is ready to carry it forward in the way we look after you.
For those of you used to dealing with Andy directly, we will be in touch to confirm your main point of contact. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out to me personally with any questions.
Thank you for your trust in us.
Sam Binstead
Director
