CAM was created to do things differently

For both Derek and I, CAM Wealth Group (CAM) was never about creating “just another” financial services business. It was about building something that genuinely reflected who we are, how we work and, most importantly, how we believe clients deserve to be treated.

Between us, we bring over 55 years of experience across wealth management, investment management, financial planning and business leadership. Throughout our careers, we have worked within large corporate environments, built businesses, led teams and supported clients through changing markets, changing regulations and changing lives. That experience has shaped us, but it has also reinforced what we felt was missing within the industry.

Too often, financial advice can feel transactional, overly complicated and disconnected from the individual behind the wealth.

From the very beginning, our vision was to create a forward-thinking business built on traditional values – trust, integrity, relationships and genuinely understanding our clients’ lives, ambitions and concerns. We wanted to bring together high-level investment and financial planning expertise with a more personal, collaborative and approachable way of working.

We believe wealth management should never be about products alone. It should be about people, conversations, long-term partnerships and joined-up thinking.

Derek’s extensive background in investment management and discretionary services, combined with my experience in investment businesses, private equity, strategic growth and compliance oversight, gives CAM a unique balance of commercial expertise and client-focused thinking. Whilst our skills are different, our values are completely aligned.

We are both passionate about building long-term trusted relationships and creating a business culture where clients feel listened to, supported and confident about their future.

As CAM continues to evolve – including expanding into General Insurance through CAM Insurance Solutions – our philosophy remains exactly the same: to stay forward-thinking, challenge convention where needed and always put relationships and client outcomes at the heart of what we do.

That is what “a passion for doing things differently” means to us.
