I’m Kelly Kilpin, Director of Financial Services at Brookson Financial.
I lead our Financial Services proposition for contractors and freelance professionals across the UK, bringing nearly 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry. My role spans strategy, governance, and client outcomes across Mortgages, Protection, Investments, Pensions, and Retirement Planning, and I’m proud to help our firm steward over £250 million in assets under management while delivering truly holistic, needs‑based advice.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked across both Sales and Compliance, which means I balance commercial focus with strong regulatory discipline. I’m skilled in operational management, blue‑sky strategic planning, budget and cost control, sales leadership, training delivery, and financial advisory. I care deeply about building lean, high‑performing teams and creating clear, client‑centred processes that scale—without compromising the quality, clarity, or integrity of our advice.
I believe financial guidance should be straightforward and accessible. I champion clear communication and practical, data‑led insight that gives independent workers the confidence to make better long‑term decisions. I’m professionally qualified through the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) and bring pragmatic judgment and an unwavering commitment to doing the right thing for our customers and colleagues.
Away from work, I’m married with two children. I love DIY and home improvements, with many a weekend spent with a paint brush or screw driver in hand.
