John Metcalf
I have worked in the financial services industry for almost 30 years. Up to joining the team at TPO, I had spent 19 years as an independent financial adviser with Pearson Jones whilst also taking on the responsibility of Wealth Management Director.
My experience includes advising a range of private individuals, generations of families and corporate clients as well as bespoke Trust funds.
I have helped clients for many years build and position funds in personal investment portfolios and pension funds, managing assets in a bespoke manner to enable differing requirements throughout their lifetime – whilst also protecting those assets with careful estate planning where required.
Delivering practical and technical presentations to other professionals (including Solicitors and Accountants) and client audiences over the years have also become part of my CV.

What drives me?
I live near Bardsey in Leeds with my wife, Karen, and two daughters to help keep me young at heart!

I continue to try and keep fit running regularly and enjoy skiing with the family whenever I manage to get them all together.
