Jamie Evans was in financial services for nearly 20 years before he became a Travel Counsellor 18 months ago. In many ways, his former career was the making of him.
“I went into that industry as a bit of an idiotic 21-year-old and left as a grown-up man," he says. "I met my wife where I worked, and of most of my client base now is made up of ex-colleagues so it’s a special place for me – and I learned so much about business and life while I was there.”
A few years after he became a shareholder, the firm was sold, and rather than reinvest his capital, he decided it was time to step back. “I wanted to be accountable to myself, not to corporate bosses anymore."
