This is Money website cashes in on Cornish IFA's expertise

One of the country's busiest personal finance websites is cashing in on the expertise of an award-winning Cornish businessman.

Peter McGahan, managing director of independent financial advisers (IFA), Worldwide Financial Planning, has been signed up by This is Money (www.thisismoney.co.uk).

Peter, who runs Worldwide from its offices in Truro and Wadebridge, is the only IFA working with the website and will answer questions posted from the site’s visitors on everything money-related.

“The one thing we pride ourselves on at Worldwide is the good advice that we offer people,” said Peter, who has also appeared on Working Lunch and the Today programme.

“And as many people know, this is something that we have been doing over the last twelve years in Cornwall.

“But the chance to use our award-winning knowledge to help people all over the UK is really exciting.”

Andrew Oxlade, This is Money web editor, shares Peter’s excitement.

He said: "This tie-up enables us to get Peter to share his vast knowledge with thousands of our readers in one easy hit.

“It's a great opportunity for them to pick the brains of one of the country's leading IFAs.

“Peter has won awards for his honest and forthright style and it will be great to have him answering the financial queries we have posted.”

As well as helping This is Money Peter also currently writes for the Financial Times business, the BBC and the Channel 4 website, as well as various Cornish media outlets. He is also regularly commented on in overseas papers such as the New York Times, International Herald and Abu Dhabi's The National as well as being the judge for International advisers annual awards.

Peter added: “I think with the new Government and changes happening to cut the Budget deficit, being on top of your finances is going to become more important for people.

“The This is Money website gives them the perfect opportunity to ask me about any financial issues they may have concerns with.”
