Founder Story: Nick from NH Wealth

Welcome to NH Wealth! Discover the personal story of founder, Nick Hawkins, and why he’s dedicated to delivering expert financial advice with his trademark down-to-earth approach.

Based in Sevenoaks with his wife and children, Nick launched his advice firm in Kent in 2023, drawing on 15 years’ experience as an investment manager. He knows how important it is to feel at ease with your adviser and invites you get to know him a little better here before you book your call.

Advice meets experience

Nick is a well-qualified financial adviser and founder of NH Wealth, having got his first start in finance with a role at Walker Crips, a traditional London stockbroking firm.

There, he managed private investments and co-managed a corporate bond fund – gaining valuable hands-on experience with clients, and becoming the first Walker Crips employee to complete the notoriously difficult CFA Charterholder qualification.

It was at his subsequent investment management role at Quilter Cheviot, where Nick realised something was missing for him. Nick says:

“I enjoyed investment management, but realised I could make a bigger impact on clients’ lives as a financial adviser. By taking a more holistic approach to investments, pensions and protection, I can help people make smart, strategic decisions that offer peace of mind and financial security for the rest of their lives.”

Early and ongoing inspiration

Ask Nick where it all started, and he’ll take you back to mornings spent with his father, reading the newspapers together. His Dad encouraged him to pick a company listed on the stock exchange, follow its fortunes, and see how the share price evolved over time. It was a simple, powerful exercise and one that quietly planted the seeds of a future career.

Now with a young family of his own, Nick believes that life beyond the office plays an important role in shaping his approach to financial advice. Weekends are often spent with family and friends, or out in the countryside walking his energetic cocker spaniel. Rooted in strong family values, Nick is dedicated to giving advice he truly believes in; if he wouldn’t suggest it to his own family, he won’t suggest it to you.

This philosophy is what led Nick to establish his own independent firm. He wanted the freedom to offer tailored advice, without being limited to a restricted panel of products or providers. By working independently and accessing the whole of the market, Nick ensures his clients benefit from best-in-class products and services that suit their unique circumstances, rather than being confined to a predefined list of options.
