Blue Sky Financial Planning Ltd

12/09/2025

At Blue Sky Financial Planning, we’ve never believed that financial advice is just about numbers on a spreadsheet. True financial planning is personal. It’s about your life – how it feels now, and how you want it to feel in the future. It’s about the pressure that builds when responsibilities mount. The uncertainty of life’s big decisions. The desire for more ease, freedom and peace of mind… and the courage it takes to face change, and act.

We created our film, The Search, to bring all of this to life in a completely different way.

We hope you enjoy!

Change, is disruptive and all around us... are you searching for a constant in a world that never stands still? With special thanks to: Rowe Films –…

🎉 Exciting news! Today our CEO, Gary Neild has formally announced that Blue Sky Financial Planning is now indirectly owned by every employee at Blue Sky. Gary and his wife have transferred 100% of their shares into an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT).

As a team, we are absolutely delighted and it further reinforces the positive, dynamic culture and ethos that the company is built on.

Exciting times for everyone concerned, especially our clients, who are now assured of continuity of advice.

Have a look at our webpage which tells you more as to why the EOT was the right succession plan for us.

Thursday 15th December 2022 marked the first day of new ownership for Blue Sky Financial Planning Ltd. A momentous occasion in so many ways.

What a year it's been. We are proud of how we've steered our clients through these continued difficult times and we see it as a privilege to have been entrusted with managing our clients' wealth.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support this year, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous 2022.

Rather than send Christmas cards, in what has now become a bit of a Blue Sky tradition, we have taken the opportunity to demonstrate that even though we take our work very seriously, every so often, we think it's perfectly fine to throw on some dancing shoes and boogie the night away... we hope you enjoy our Christmas video!

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season,
Best wishes
Gary Neild and the Blue Sky Team

Christmas rocks. Now it can rock even harder when you star in this merry music video. Just upload your photo and start rockin' elf style!

"Should we be allowing our future generations to jump in at the deep end when it comes to managing money, and just hope that they can swim?"

Take a look at our most recent from our MD, Gary Neild

I’ve been a financial planner for some considerable time now. As many of you may know, in a previous life I was a teacher. On the face of it, a major career change and is some ways it was but in other ways, the skills I had were transferable. Don’t get me wrong, it was a huge culture shock. I ha...
