    Glynne Dunn DipFA

    Director / Financial Adviser

    Glynne enjoyed the early part of his career in the army, having attended Sandhurst where he obtained a commission in the Royal Engineers.

    In 1997 he took the decision to leave the Army, married his wife Kerry and started life as a financial adviser.

    Prior to his current position he ran an IFA firm of 27 advising consultants and the associated back office staff. He closed this practice and scaled it down to what is currently DFP Health and Wealth Management so he could concentrate on providing face to face advice to his own client's.

    Outside of this Glynne's responsibilities include:

    • Husband and father of 3 boys
    • Vice Chairman of the youth side of Plymstock Albion Oaks rugby Club and coach of the under 15's
    • Major in the Territorial Army.

    Glynne says; “My approach to business and in particular to my clients is that I will always try and do what is best for my clients. Be open, honest and a safe pair of hands for their affairs.”
