Kate Shaw

Director and Chartered Financial Planner

Kate founded FLP in 2015. Her mission? To build a different type of business. To give clients a planning service that’s way beyond the transactional, and to help them navigate the hellscape that is the financial services industry.

Specialising in serving those who don't fit the mould of traditional financial planning, Kate's philosophy is clear: "Come as you are”. She's particularly passionate about helping Gen X women, a group she believes is often underserved by mainstream financial services. 

When not at work, Kate is happiest in the mountains, either running or skiing. She lives her own version of her best life by spending 3 months each year living in and working from the French Alps.

Rebecca Tuck

Operations Director

With over a decade of experience in financial planning practices, Rebecca ensures FLP runs like clockwork. She oversees client journeys, processes and technology, aiming to make everything as efficient and effective as possible.

A seasoned paraplanner at heart, she now applies her technical prowess to elevate FLP's operations. Her passion lies in problem-solving: dissecting complex scenarios and reassembling them into beautifully simple solutions, both for clients and the business.

When not working, she's planning her next cultural adventure. With an uncanny ability to attract interesting experiences and forge unexpected friendships, her travels never quite go to plan - and that's exactly how she likes it.
