About us

Sarah has over 35 years’ experience in financial services having started working for the Woolwich Equitable Building Society at the age of 17 and holds the coveted Chartered Financial Planner accreditation. As the Director and owner of LawlerDavis, Sarah has now stepped away from much of her client work and instead focusses on the running of the business. Sarah heads up our Investment Committee and is also the Compliance Officer for the company.

Outside of work, Sarah is married with two sporty teenage sons and much of her time is taken up watching them play either rugby or football. She also enjoys kayaking, travelling and spending time with her cocker spaniel.

Sue has a background in IT and worked for a local building company providing IT Support and hardware installations, and as Service Delivery Manager looking after all aspects of IT systems support countrywide before taking redundancy when the firm restructured. Sue joined LawlerDavis in 2014 as an administrator on a temporary basis and has never left. She has since become Compliance and Operations Manager, working closely with Sarah to make sure everything runs smoothly in the office.

Outside of work, Sue is married with children and grandchildren and loves spending time with family and friends. She also loves to travel to as many foreign destinations as possible.

Anna is the longest standing team member, having joined us in 2012 after working previously with Sarah and Colin. Anna has worked in financial services since 1998 and provides invaluable support to clients and advisers alike with a wealth of technical knowledge.

Oliver offers advice on a wide range of areas including pensions, investments, protection and estate planning. He is now continuing to work his way through his Chartered Insurance Institute exams with a goal of achieving chartered status.

Outside of work he enjoys hiking, cooking, playing board games with friends as well as spending time with his family including his four nephews and two nieces.

As a founding partner of LawlerDavis Colin worked for over 35 years in finance and accounts with around half of this spent in the financial services industry.
