About Shane
At Sanctuary
I try to use the phrase of Daniel Priestly “Your best thinking five years ago is your baggage today” and I like to see myself as a person who is looking to advance the way I run the business and the way I interact with clients. I believe that the world of financial planning needs to encapsulate the persons specific objective and that all planning is built around this. I feel that I work in a profession that is based on knowledge, I am constantly looking to build my knowledge through seminars, conferences and exams.
At Home
I live just outside Cardiff with my wife Helen and my son Ethan. I have certainly not used the word “bored” since Ethan was born as the vast majority of my time is spend in parks, soft plays, reading books to him or watching tv. I played Gaelic football for Cardiff for many years and have recently “officially” retired (some would say not before time!!!). Nothing can replace the buzz of team events and training for something special – the training is still continuing but now I restrict this to the gym.
Getting under the skin
Proudest moment
The birth of my son Ethan. Life changes when children come along – a cuddle from the little fella can make my day.
