Ed Dymott

Non-Executive Director

About Ed

Ed brings over 20 years of experience in wealth and asset management, working at an executive level with some very large financial services brands. His day job is Chief Executive Officer of Benchmark Capital – an award-winning organisation which provides support for 1,000+ Independent Financial Advisers from across the UK. At Robertson Baxter, he sits on the board as a Non-Executive Director, helping to provide support and strategic input to the business.

Ed lives in London with his wife Becky and their two children Molly and Charlie. In his spare time (when he gets it), Ed loves to travel, take long walks, and see Tottenham play (when they win). He also has a keen interest in cars, and actually built his own car a few years ago (and it still works!).
