Bobby Sherlock

Director
Bobby is part of the fabric of Stan Sherlock Associates, having worked in the business from when he was a teenager! Bobby’s Dad set up the business in 1989 when Bobby was just 6. In 2014 Bobby took the hotseat as Managing Director after his dad retired. His passion is creating great client outcomes, and he loves how much of a positive impact what he does can have on someone’s life. Outside of work he enjoys spending time with his young family, outdoors wherever possible. Also taking on physical challenges that he’s not really sure he can complete!
Q&A With Bobby

Emma Sherlock

Director
Emma joined the SSA team in 2018 and learned the ropes as a Protection Adviser. Now, as a Director, she is all about client service! New and existing clients. It’s Emma’s job to make sure our client service is exceptional and that our adviser’s diaries are full to bursting with lovely clients. She is passionate about finding new ways to get our message out there so we can help even more people create a brilliant financial plan. When Emma is not at work she’s busy with her 3 gorgeous kids… watching sport, in the fells, or in her kitchen watching Bobby cook, with a large glass of red!

He has expert knowledge of the mortgage and protection market and loves to help our clients with their home financing needs. Tom likes to take part in many sports, outdoor activities and country pursuits; but is transitioning to sports that aren’t as brutal on the body as rugby, like golf.  He enjoys spending time with friends and family in which his little boy keeps him on his toes.
