David has worked in the financial industry for the past four years. Before joining Kellands in July 2025, he developed his financial knowledge at Hargreaves Lansdown, where he served as a Senior Operations Associate and focused on implementing process improvements to enhance the client experience. He brings this client-focused approach to every task at Kellands.
David joined Kellands to pursue a career in financial planning and is currently undertaking his Level 4 Diploma, with the goal of progressing to Financial Adviser and building a long-term career within the firm.
