As a growing business, we’re always on the lookout for the brightest financial minds, which is why we’re so excited to welcome Samantha Halifax, our newest Financial Advisor. Samantha joins us from Swedish banking giant, Handelsbanken, where she’s spent the last few years as a Private Banking Manager.
No stranger to the Milestone team, Sam previously worked with Michael, Pete, and Mark and has been on our wish list for a while. Her energy and enthusiasm, combined with her enormous experience in the sector, mean we can already see the impact she’s having on what we do and how we work with and for our clients. Some of you may have already met Sam and she’ll be getting to know more of you in the coming months. But for now, we wanted to quiz Sam so we can all learn a bit more about what makes her tick!
