Joining the firm are Charlotte Fletcher and Glyn Jenkinson (specialising in protection advice) in Leeds, Murray Greig in Glasgow, and Fiona Durham in Carlisle.

Mr Greig background is in the Glasgow Stock Exchange, where he worked for 15 years after leaving school and became a senior trader. He then became a financial adviser in 2002, giving him a uniquely balanced perspective on markets, money, and long-term financial wellbeing.

Based at Armstrong Watson’s Glasgow office, Mr Greig supports clients on all aspects of financial advice and has a particular interest in retirement planning. He said: “I was delighted to take the opportunity with Armstrong Watson and look forward to many years here.”

This latest expansion follows a successful 2025, which saw the addition of four Financial Planning Consultants and 12 new financial advisory colleagues in Glasgow as part of Armstrong Watson’s acquisition of Martin Aitken & Co. These developments have grown the Armstrong Watson Financial Planning cohort to more than 70 colleagues across the business.

In addition to these new appointments, Martyn Pottage, who joined Armstrong Watson in 2021, has been promoted to the Armstrong Watson Financial Planning Ltd board as financial planning director, and Marcus Dodds, who joined as a trainee in 2016 and achieved chartered status in 2018, has been promoted to regional financial planning manager.

The expansion of the financial planning team reflects Armstrong Watson’s commitment to helping more clients navigate the latest changes announced by the UK government, including updates to pensions and inheritance tax (IHT).

Mark Frier, financial planning director – operations and commercial, said: “By growing our expertise and presence across key regions, Armstrong Watson Financial Planning can continue to provide tailored advice and support to individuals and businesses seeking financial security and long-term prosperity, providing the best client experience.

“Martyn and Marcus’s promotions are both very well deserved, with them each playing a key role in the development and delivery of our services.”

Mr Pottage said: “I’m looking forward to continuing to shape the future of financial planning with our fantastic team, guided by our values of Passion, Honesty, Humanity, and Trust, and delivering on our quest – to help clients achieve prosperity, a secure future, and peace of mind.”
