James Boughton-Thomas

My passion for financial services developed over many years of working closely with my own financial adviser and realising the opportunity that professional advice provides in making a real difference to people’s lives. After 26 successful years in the motor industry, as Centre Principal at Toyota & Lexus, the opportunity arose to undertake an intense period of study to complete the exams necessary to qualify as a financial adviser.

I have known Ken for a number of years and we share the same ethos about looking after people and putting clients first so I leapt at the chance to join Tunstall Financial Management in the autumn of 2020, and in In November 2022 I took over the ownership and management of the company. As partners with Openwork Ltd I can continue my professional development on the road to becoming a Chartered Financial Planner.

It has quickly become apparent to me that financial planning and advice is a continuous journey for both clients and advisers and I look forward to building enduring relationships over many years to come.

Other interests include cycling, skiing, travel and church. I am a trustee and director of Acts Trust in Lincoln, a school governor and a CAP Money Coach (Christians Against Poverty).
