Professional

I joined Hartsfield in 2016, originally as an administrator. Since then, I have worked my way up to the role of Paraplanner, and as of this year, I have completed the Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning – DipPFS.

Before joining Hartsfield I worked at Nationwide for 4 years after leaving my “previous life” in entertainment.

What matters most

What matters most to Georgina about working for Hartsfield

I like working for a small (but growing) company and the ‘family’ feel that comes with it – you are not just one of a number. Hartsfield, as a company, always strive to “do the right thing” both for clients and employees alike. I feel that this is very important for building trust and unfortunately is not an ethos that all companies employ nowadays. Hartsfield has given me the opportunity to re-train in a second career and the support to develop and progress in my role and through the company. Hartsfield also allows a lot of flexibility around work which is something I am very grateful for (as Joy West put in my interview, “re-claim my life!”).

What matters most to Georgina about her specific role?

I think it’s important that our clients have a team of people that they can speak to, rather than just one person, and that whoever they speak to knows about their individual case. I like to think that our clients can call at any time and speak to someone who can help them. I think that this is important for building long-standing relationships. My favourite aspect of my job is completing the analysis and reporting of client cases. I also really enjoy seeing the end product – how the work we have done has positively impacted on clients’ lives.

What matters most to Georgina outside of work?

Outside of work, most of my time is spent with my husband, and our family and friends. My previous career didn’t allow for a lot of time off, so we love to make the most of our evenings, weekends and annual leave, by socialising with family and friends and also going on holidays. I love all types of music and often take part in concerts and musical productions.
