Financial wellbeing – what’s that?
The Money and Pensions Service defines the term as “feeling secure and in control of your finances, both now and in the future.” The cost-of-living crisis and inflation made for a tumultuous economy in 2023 so you’d be forgiven for finding this a tricky concept to wrap your mind around. Perhaps that’s why, when we clicked onto the NH Wealth website, the words “reducing financial anxiety and fear” shone out like a beacon on the page. Music to our ears!
Nick Hawkins, founder of NH Wealth, is a Sevenoaks-based independent financial adviser who rejects pushy sales speak or the hoity-toity language we’ve become accustomed to within his profession and appeals directly to the individual. A refreshing approach that doesn’t distract from Nick’s ambition: structuring your finances to build a secure and confident future.
“It’s a big decision – one that involves the whole family – deciding what to do with the wealth you’ve worked so hard for and accumulated throughout your life” says Nick.
We couldn’t agree more.

Newspapers + Nurturing Stocks = New Career Path!
Can you pinpoint the moment in your past that set you on your career path?
As Nick recalls, it all started with his father. As a child, he and his dad would sit together and read the newspapers. Nick’s dad would encourage Nick to choose a stock and together they would track its successes and losses – a valuable life skill that’s not taught in schools!
What this father/son pastime produced was a respectable 16-year-long career in finance and investments, propelling Nick into the big leagues as an Investment Manager in the City, with long employment periods at global titans Quilter Cheviot Ltd and Walker Crips Stockbrokers.
It struck Nick that many of his peers were in their mid-to-late 50s and retiring within the decade. This opened up a gap for younger and independent financial advisers. So, in May 2023, Nick handed in his resignation. In October 2023, NH Wealth was established.
