Daniel Frampton made it to the final selection process to become a Royal Marines officer and will now look to apply his talents to the Lancashire-based wealth management firm

West Lancashire firm Acumen Financial Partnership has brought in a new trainee financial adviser.

Daniel Frampton, 19, made it to the final selection process to become a Royal Marines officer and is now looking to bring the dedication and efficiency learnt during his military training into a career within the financial sector.

This latest addition to Acumen’s ranks sees the team grow to 15, a figure which includes seven qualified financial advisers. Daniel will initially work within the expanding protection products market alongside Acumen director Jon Landy.

Mr Landy said: “We believe in investing in young talent and saw an opportunity with Daniel to recruit someone with real potential and a willingness to learn.

“We have mapped out a five-year plan for him to learn the ropes and hopefully become a full Chartered Financial Planner.”

Formed in 2006 on Merseyside, Acumen relocated to Burscough, Lancashire in 2016 and currently has around £175m funds under its management.
