Paraplanner
Dominic Parry
Paraplanner
Dominic has 5 years of experience in the financial services sector and graduated from the University of Leicester with a BA in Economics. He started as an investment analyst in an IFA firm but then got more involved with the financial advice aspect which took his interest. He achieved his Diploma in 2021 and then entered the world of paraplanning with another IFA firm.
Dominic particularly enjoys the variety he gets as a paraplanner with every case having their own differences and specific features. You learn something new every day whilst being a paraplanner.
In his spare time, he enjoys travelling when he can, playing sport, especially hockey and football and watching his beloved Aston Villa. He also enjoys going for dog walks and longer hikes with his Cocker Spaniel and partner.
