For the third year running, MFP Wealth Management has achieved Cyber Essentials accreditation, demonstrating our commitment to protecting your personal and financial information from rising cyber threats.

This Sunday I embraced the art of doing nothing (aside from ferrying the girls around), but the rest of my family were medal winners! I would argue that we all achieved success in our own unique ways.

Here’s Justin’s ‘story of nothing’.

As a financial planner, my daily life revolves around advising clients, managing investments, and staying updated with market trends. However, everyone needs a break from their routine, and I recently took the opportunity to spend three enriching days canoeing down the picturesque River Wye, accompanied only by my trusty Springer Spaniel, Bracken. 

Justin joins host of The Century Plan podcast Dennis Hall to explain how over 180 episodes of The Retirement Café Podcast evolved into The Retirement Café Handbook.

Justin also shares insights into the tools and techniques he uses to support and help his clients plan for the retirement they desire. These include reframing thoughts through hypnotherapy and NLP techniques.

Justin celebrated the launch of The Retirement Café Handbook with dozens of clients and contributors to the podcast and handbook on 22nd September 2023. He hosted a lunch at Christchurch’s Captain’s Club Hotel and Spa. Here’s his short talk.

It felt fantastic to be back in Inverness, embarking on our 500-mile cycling adventure: The North Coast 500. We set off in the sunshine and completed over 60 miles on day 1. Day 2 saw the dreaded climb to the top of Bealach na Ba pass. Would the rain stop play?

Justin was asked to talk to pupils, parents and staff of Ballard school in March about making better decisions. He based his talk on three Mental Models that help you apply a rigour to your decision making: Inversion, backcasting and compounding.

This month The Retirement Café podcast hosted by Justin King turns 4 years old. Here’s the history behind the podcast and a celebratory episode.

MFP Wealth Management has just become accredited to Cyber Essentials, which aims to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company information from internet threats. This will protect us against 80% of the most common cyber-attacks.

Justin appeared on The Leader’s Council of Great Britain and Ireland to chat about founding and leading his business, and what business leaders should consider as they approach retirement.

MFP’s Chartered Financial Planner, Justin King, is volunteering to help The Verve Foundation deliver ‘money savvy’ workshops to residents of Bournemouth’s YMCA

Justin has been awarded the prestigious Chartered Fellow (Financial Planning) status by The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI), the most highly regarded designation for those working in the Finance Planning profession.

On 19th May 2022, I sat on the panel of the FTAdviser’s Later Life Planning Summit to debate the role of the later life adviser. We explored how the financial advice sector can close the advice gap and offer planning services to lower income clients.

Forced to have to abandon my challenge of completing the North Coast 500 on bike, we decided to head to slightly warmer, calmer conditions in Yorkshire and bike pack around the Yorkshire countryside

We awoke on day 3 of the North Coast 500 in our tents at Gairloch to heavy rain and driving winds. Aside from the inclement weather, a mechanical problem with my bike was making completing the NC500 look like a much more significant challenge.

We set off early on day 2 of cycling the North Coast 500 to tackle the climb up Bealach na Ba, the historic mountain pass with a 20% gradient climb through the mountains of the Applecross peninsula. It’s reputation didn’t disappoint!

Day 1 of cycling the North Coast 500 dawned bright and clear. WeI departed from Inverness - bikes packed to the gunnels - heading West in the direction of the Isle of Skye, arriving at Lochcarron mid-afternoon.
