A bit about us.

• We're (very) proud sponsors of Thanet Wanderers RFC, a team that our founder Colin Brown was a huge part of as player, coach and fan.
• Our team recently expanded and relocated to the vibrant Broadstairs. We're thoroughly relishing the lively atmosphere of the High Street and the warm interactions with familiar faces who drop by.
• As independent advisers, we operate across the entire market, ensuring unbiased and dependable advice.
• We're a bunch of avid football enthusiasts. One of us is unfortunately outnumbered 3:1 as the only United fan in a room which undoubtedly adds a touch of friendly rivalry to our collaborative and engaging atmosphere.
• Coffee flows abundantly in our office.

• Colin.

Where do we start? We can't talk about Need Financial Planning without mentioning our wonderful Colin. It was Colin that started this business after all! He was incredibly warm, funny and a big personality here; we miss him terribly since his passing in January 2021. He set incredible foundations for us at Need FP, and his genuine love and care for his clients is something that we have wholeheartedly adopted. We are so, so grateful for the love and support that we have received in return from you all.

Need Financial Planning has been left in the very capable hands of Colin's sons, Rob and James. They've already expanded the team and moved the office to the charming high street of Broadstairs - which was their dad's dream for the business.

Well done boys - you are doing him (and us) proud.
