Chris Riley
Chartered Financial Planner
Chris cut his teeth working for many of the big names in the industry. While gaining his experience Chris had a desire to do something different. So Chris became fully independent to really help people achieve their goals.
Chris created Seventy with a straight-forward goal. ‘Put the customer’s interests first’. No jargon, no pushy sales. Just common sense planning, treating people as people, not targets. Chris has earned an excellent and enviable reputation. He, and Seventy, is known for delivering quality and trustworthy advice.
Chris specialises in investment portfolio management, retirement and pension planning and tax and estate planning for clients in Harrogate, York, Leeds and throughout North Yorkshire.
Andrew Brierley
Mortgage Adviser
Andrew earned his experience through 15 years advising financial service clients. Rather than focussing on the advice, Andrew sees the process as an educational journey for the client. He enjoys his work because of the positive difference he can make to people’s lives.
His favourite moment giving clients really good news. “There’s really nothing more satisfying than saying to a client, ‘yes, you can retire. Today if you want.'”
Andrew once took a five month trip around the world, taking in all the adrenaline activities he found. When he has time he’ll try to catch up with his reading list. Then you’ll find him, book in hand, reading happily. Mostly he loves to spend time with his children.
Iain Sillett
Mortgage Adviser
Iain is our specialist mortgage and protection advisor. With 20 years of experience, Iain has wisdom and knowledge. This is how Iain helps clients achieve their goals. Goals that advisers from other firms have often told them are impossible. But they’re not always impossible. Ian has no aversion to hard work, but rather a “challenge accepted” mentality. He is always striving for solutions.
Many people find buying a property quite stressful. Iain believes this happens because advisers don’t explain the process. Iain’s prompt communications and explanations make all the difference.
“The best thing about working at Seventy is the feeling you get when you call a client with good news. When they get their mortgage offer. Or the keys to their new home.”
We built our business around core principles of fair and ethical practices, transparency and integrity. These underpin everything we do at Seventy Financial Planning. In the end this all delivered by our excellent team of experienced and passionate people.Chris Riley

Lian Dickenson
Financial Services Administrator
Lian joined the team a mortgage administrator with over two decades of administrative experience. To Seventy she brings a passion for excellent customer service and a dedication to “get it done” for the client. Lian laments the time that’s spent just waiting during a house purchase. And so she focusses all her energies on making sure the administration is done promptly, every time.
Lian says that life is about spending time with family, and with good friends. She tries to find time to relax and unwind. Spare time will often see Lian on a hike through nature. She finds hiking and walking a lovely way to unwind and get some exercise along the way.
Lisa Haigh
Financial Planner
Lisa has spent over a quarter of a century in the financial services industry. She’s therefore a highly experienced financial planner and an invaluable member of the Seventy team. As such Lisa has mentored others develop and flourish in their own careers. She makes it very clear that she’s not a saleswoman, rather she spends time getting to know her clients as individuals. Then she tailors her recommendations so her clients can realise their dreams and hopes.
As a woman in a male dominated industry, Lisa would like to see more young-women coming into the financial services industry. She says it’s a great career, one in which she has seen success and happiness.
Lisa describes herself as a home-bird. She likes entertaining friends and family, quality time in her country house with her rescue dogs and making memories with her granddaughter.
