John Whiting
Adviser Development Manager
"The three things I love most about my job are working with dedicated and highly qualified Financial Planners who still welcome development to improve their skills further. Also the "can do" positive attitude prevalent throughout the company starting with the Directors down to the newest member of staff. The friendship, camaraderie and banter within the office, I would go a long way for all of them even if they do support some dodgy teams! "
Work
John previously worked at Lloyds Bank for 42 years and retired in 2016. After six months of climbing the walls in retirement, John got a call from Deb Jacobs, who rescued him, and he joined PenLife in May 2017!
John’s role as an Adviser Development Manager involves undertaking regular one-to-one development meetings with our Financial Planners. John also observes them in live client meetings with a view to developing their interview techniques further.
Rest and play
The main focus at home for John at present is his Golden Retriever, Darcy.
Initially not wanting a dog, John finally gave way to his wife’s puppy dog eyes and caved in. It’s now fair to say that John talks about little else but Darcy!
When not following Darcy around, John loves his sport, particularly Rugby League and football.
John is also into music and reading.
