Executive Wealth Manager
Leslie spent close to two decades as a bespoke menswear tailor before COVID-19 wiped out his order book overnight — and with it, the realisation that he had built a thriving business but never a financial safety net of his own. In December 2021 he stepped into financial planning to make sure others don't learn that lesson the hard way, and has qualified for MDRT four times since (2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026). Now an Executive Wealth Manager, Leslie brings the same precision and personal attention he once gave a well-fitted suit to the plans he builds for clients — especially those in their 30s and 40s who feel invincible. He listens first, explains the why behind every recommendation, and never rushes a fitting.
“Never off-the-rack. One person, one plan, at a time.”

For close to two decades I built a career in menswear bespoke tailoring. Since 2004 I have had the privilege of dressing men for the moments that matter — learning along the way that no two clients, and no two needs, are ever quite the same.
When COVID-19 struck, my tailoring business was hit hard. Overnight, orders and income dried up. In that period of uncertainty I confronted a hard truth: despite running a thriving business through my 30s and 40s, I had never built a proper financial safety net for myself. In December 2021, I stepped into financial planning — not to leave tailoring behind, but to help others avoid learning the same lesson the hard way.
Bespoke tailoring and financial planning aren't so different. Both start with listening. Both require understanding a person's life, goals and circumstances before a single “cut” is made. And both are built around one person at a time — never off-the-rack.
