I’m Dave Grigg, a Financial Adviser and Director of Hampton James Financial Associates Ltd, an Associate Partner Practice of the highly respected St. James's Place - I am also a former West Midlands firefighter. I am very proud of my earlier career and now very pleased to bring tailored financial planning to support current fire service personnel and their families whilst also supporting individuals who’ve now left the service.
I guess both roles are all about protecting people, their family, their possessions and their property - and ensuring everything is safe and secure.
I work with individuals, couples and families and usually start the process with a no obligation personal finance review - undertaken at a time and location to suit you.
As part of this we’ll commonly look at mortgages, life insurance, financial protection and how to best benefit from a final salary lump sum.
So if you’re looking for bespoke financial advice for firefighters and related personnel, then I’d be very pleased to hear from you.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
When it comes to the financial future of my family, trust is the most important quality I look for in an adviser and quite simply I trust Dave. His first hand knowledge of my profession and the finances involved have been invaluable. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

In my experience firefighters do not lack intelligence but the language of financial matters is often impenetrable! I found the benefit of Dave's experience in the service meant his no nonsense approach whilst not just being a breath of fresh air was also professional, knowledgeable and reassuring t...
David's advice has been spot on when setting up ISAs and a private pension for me. Readily available and friendly service, nothing is too much bother.
