About Greg

Greg is our CEO and has spent his whole career in financial services, since joining Yorkshire Bank in 1992. Since forming Robertson Baxter in 2007 he has focused on developing and overseeing the business, providing leadership and strategic vision. He values a close relationship with clients and meets them socially outside of the review process.

In his spare time, Greg spends time on family walks. He also has a real passion for golf, playing off a respectable 2 handicap. When time allows, Greg also loves to cycle, both on and off-road.

What others say about Greg

Through Greg’s help we have managed our finances in a way that has permitted our early retirement. We have also been able to help our daughter financially, following his advice.
