Mr Sneddon joins McCreas from Policy Services / Virtue Money where he served as a financial adviser. Prior to that, he held senior positions with Royal Bank of Scotland. Mr Sneddon arrives at McCreas with a wealth of professional accreditations and is presently nearing completion of the qualifications which will earn him chartered status.

The firm said that despite the outbreak of the coronavirus, it remains focused on its growth strategy and with increased client numbers. McCrea Financial Services added that Mr Sneddon is joining the team to help look after existing clients and a number of new clients who are referred to the firm from a range of sources.

Douglas McCrea, managing director, said: “We are delighted to welcome Grant to our team of advisers. He was the outstanding candidate with over 25 years’ experience looking after clients and their financial affairs. Grant will achieve Chartered status over the coming months which highlights his depth of knowledge and will be a real asset for McCreas and our clients.”

Grant Sneddon added: “I am absolutely delighted to have joined McCreas. It is a privilege to join a company with such a good reputation and long track record providing independent financial advice to clients in Scotland and beyond.

“The financial services industry has experienced a great deal of change over the last 25 years along with periods of market and economic uncertainty, all during a time in which I was helping clients and building my career. To have joined a company which has stood the test of time and negotiated these challenges so positively is a wonderful professional opportunity.”
 
The firm said that Mr Sneddon will fit in well at McCreas and the can-do attitude adopted by the business alongside their extensive support of charitable good causes as he enjoys the outdoors and particularly road cycling, the odd game of golf and swimming. 

Mr Sneddon was involved with Falkirk Round Table for many years and is now a member of Falkirk & Larbert 41 Club. In May 2019, he was one of 16 members of the 41 Club who cycled the coastline of Wales known as the Dragons Spine, covering just under 400 miles, and climbing around 18,000 feet in 4 days. The team raised the fantastic sum of £22,000 for charity.
