James Wallis with Gemma Bailey
First new hire for Aristotle
A Derby financial adviser who recently set up his own business has appointed his first member of staff. James Wallis, who founded Aristotle Financial Planning in April last year, described the appointment of Gemma Bailey as a significant step in growing his company. Gemma has joined as client support technician in
order to handle much of the day-to-day business administration required for dealing with the firm’s clients, which mainly consist of people approaching retirement age or who run their own business. James, who had 10 years’ experience as an independent and chartered financial planner before setting up Aristotle, said: “Gemma has many years’ experience in the financial industry and her previous role was as a paraplanner, so she is more than capable
of giving me the long overdue assistance that we need with the day-to-day tasks so that I can focus on growing the business. “Setting up a company during a pandemic was a challenge and I’m very pleased to be able to make my first of what I hope will be many more appointments just before the end of my first year in business.” Gemma added: “I’m really excited to have joined
Aristotle Financial Planning. “The values of the company, James’ approach to
financial planning, along with his vision for the future are what made this role so appealing. I’m looking forward to working for James as he continues to develop his business.” determination and drive – all qualities we value in our staff, and to see it so evident in people at the beginning of their career is something special.”

Sharratt recently completed their apprenticeships with Derby-based provider Babington and have since progressed to become business administration assistant and technical support engineer, respectively. Neuways managing director
Martin Roberts said: “We are delighted with the performance from both Georgia and Tom. “They both overcame the challenges posed by Covid-19 and their success is testament to their tenacity.”
