Prior to entering the financial services industry, Godfrey spent 12 years of his career working in retail as a Senior Buyer for M&S, Waitrose, and Itsu. 

Godfrey’s financial advice interest started back in 2011, when his dad, who obtained all his financial education knowledge back home in Ghana, taught Godfrey everything he needed to know. Godfrey became passionate about financial services ever since and spent a lot of his time educating and advising others about how best to achieve financial freedom. 

“In the background, I was my network’s unofficial financial adviser”. Says Godfrey
Godfrey has been able to make lifelong friends through the SJP Academy cohorts, they now support him as he is making a difference in his clients' lives. For him, it is more then offering advice but upskilling his clients. 

“The bit that I take complete satisfaction and fulfilment from is the educational side of things, as I am not only supporting but adding to my client's knowledge in the context of financial advice.” Says Godfrey
