Meet The Team
Peter H Waller, A.C.I.B., CERT PFS. Born 1953.
Peter, the founder director of Admiral, started his working career in Banking with Lloyds Bank Plc and after 17 years, he was invited to join Standard Life, one of Europe’s largest investment and insurance institutions.
With the advent of the much needed Financial Services Act 1986, there was an opportunity for professionals to offer independent financial advice to clients and Peter formed Admiral in conjunction with two firms of accountants in 1990.
Since then the company has grown substantially both organically and by way of acquisitions resulting in the need to specialise. Peter now directs all his efforts into Investment Portfolios, either on a discretionary basis in conjunction with stockbrokers or on a non-discretionary basis.
Peter’s outside work interests are centred on playing golf and watching football.
He is married with two daughters.
Michael G Biggin, Dip PFS. Born 1958.
Mike joined Admiral as a director in 1994 after working with Axa Sun Life from 1977. He specialises in pensions, including self-invested pension plans and advises both our corporate and individual clients on the many advantages these schemes have to offer.
When retirement age is reached Mike will explain and discuss the many options now available to clients, including annuities, drawdown and phased retirement plans.
Mike’s interests out of work include playing golf and he enjoys watching football and cricket. Like Peter he enjoys watching most other sports.
Mike is married with a young son.
Carol J Waller, CERT PFS. Born 1963.
Carol has spent all her working life in financial services. In 1980 she started her career with Lloyds Bank Plc where she spent 7 years, undertaking a wide range of banking functions. Following her marriage to Peter, Carol relocated to Grimsby and spent 5 years working for the Leeds Permanent Building Society (now Halifax Plc). Then in 1992, Carol joined Admiral as an adviser.
Inevitably, Carol’s role has expanded over the years and she now oversees the preparation of financial accounts for our auditors. She is in charge of maintaining our premises and supervises our staff. One of Carol’s main responsibilities is to ensure Admiral complies with the requirements of the Financial Services Authority.
