Stuart McGurk is a fully qualified Financial Adviser with a Diploma in Financial Planning and over 40 years’ experience within financial services. Trading as Stuart Assured, he takes great pride in simplifying complex financial areas for clients, such as pensions, so he can help his clients make the best decisions - and get the best outcomes.

Stuart started his career in 1979, for Provincial Insurance in Bolton. He qualified as a Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute in 1985, specialising in pensions and investments. After spending eight years as a Financial Adviser with Prudential Financial Planning, he joined The Advice Partnership from Prudential in 2020. This was the natural step that let Stuart continue to offer a high level of service through his own business.

Stuart helps his clients by removing financial uncertainty. Whether this is protecting families, saving for the future or supporting the transition from work to leisure time. He provides bespoke advice, personalised into an individual plan - which can be updated regularly to make sure it stays on track. This enables his clients to concentrate on what is important to them and enjoy life to the full. Most of his clients are in “the Bay” area of Cumbria and Lancashire and he usually visits either their home or office.

Stuart is married to Louise, with three sons. He is a keen swimmer with Kendal ASC and helps manage the senior running and athletics teams with Kendal AC.

From 19th November 2021, “Prudential Financial Planning” and “The Advice Partnership from Prudential” are now known as “M&G Wealth Advice”.
