Stuart is passionate about what he does, which he summarises as ‘helping clients and their families secure their financial futures.’

Katie joined Miller Knight in 2022 in the role of Operations Manager. Before joining us Katie was responsible for the smooth running of four GP practices (yes you could get an appointment at one of hers).
