Private Client Manager
Nicola joined Blevins Franks in March 2026, bringing with her over 22 years of experience in the financial and pharmaceutical industries. After relocating to the UK from South Africa eight years ago, she transitioned into wealth management, previously working with VIVA Wealth, a partner practice of St. James’s Place, the largest wealth management company in the UK.
Nicola holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Physiology, along with a Diploma in Financial Planning from the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII). As a member of the CII, she remains committed to professional development and ethical standards in financial planning.
In her role as a Private Client Manager, Nicola specialises in assisting clients returning from core European countries to the UK. She is able to achieve this with the assistance of the specialised tax and investment teams at Blevins Franks. With a particular interest in educating women about investing and their financial journeys, she aims to empower clients – especially women who often prioritise family care over financial management – to take control of their financial futures.
Nicola is passionate about providing personalised service and enjoys solving complex financial puzzles. She believes that understanding clients’ goals, dreams and aspirations is essential to crafting effective financial strategies. By ensuring that her clients’ finances are managed efficiently, she strives to give them peace of mind and confidence in their wealth management.
Outside of work, Nicola enjoys an active lifestyle that includes cycling, running and practicing yoga. She loves cooking and savouring a good glass of wine, as well as travelling, with the African bush being her favourite destination. Above all, she cherishes time spent with her family.
Nicola is an adviser for Blevins Franks Financial Management Limited (BFFM) which is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. She is a Member of the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII).
