Dawn Elkington

My career in financial services began in 1984 with Scottish Amicable (now Prudential), working with clients on their pensions and investments.

In 1996 I became an Independent Financial Adviser and worked for two Harrogate companies before joining Ellis Bates in 2003.

I am experienced in advising elderly clients and their families, particularly on long-term care and equity release. I believe in involving families in financial planning to make the best long-term decisions for their future.

I also advise on Group Pension Schemes and specialise in pension advice in relation to divorce.

I use simple, understandable language to help my clients understand the plans they have will work for them and help them to choose the best option.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming and cooking. I previously coached and judged synchronised swimming as well as competing myself. I married my partner Michael in 2016 who I met at high school and have 3 step children.
