Gavin Scott

Regional Director

Gavin has over 30 years of experience advising expatriates. Before joining Blevins Franks, Gavin was a founding Partner of an independent firm of financial consultants in the Sultanate of Brunei. There he advised expatriates and high net-worth families on all aspects of financial and succession planning using trusts and tax efficient investment structures. Gavin joined Blevins Franks in the Algarve in 2000.

Gavin holds the Diploma for Financial Advisers (DipFA) and the full UK Financial Planning Certificate. He is a member of the Personal Finance Society by Certificate and has attended wealth planning and investments courses in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Sydney as well as Rome and London, a little closer to home.

With increasing client numbers, thanks mostly to recommendations from existing clients, Gavin’s Portugal team has grown considerably over the last ten years. He’s supported by a team of Private Client Managers, pensions, tax and investment experts based in the Blevins Franks offices in Portugal, Malta and London.

In his capacity as Regional Director, Gavin’s role now extends beyond Portugal into Spain and as far as Cyprus, sharing best practice and the core principle of putting the families that we advise at the centre of everything that we do.

Gavin is an adviser for Blevins Franks Wealth Management Limited (BFWML) which is registered with the Malta Financial Services Authority. He is a member of the London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF).
