Meet the team

Choosing a financial adviser is about more than expertise - it’s about working with people you trust. Our team combines experience, knowledge and a straightforward approach to advice. We take the time to understand your circumstances and provide clear, practical guidance, so you always feel confident in the decisions you make.

Dave Mills

Job Title

Don’t let the fact that Dave Mills played football for quite a few local semi-professional clubs put you off; he’s quite harmless really!  Dave specialises in pensions and investments for people of all ages, for example taking young couples, who can perhaps be more adventurous with their money, through their life’s journey, as responsibilities grow and financial imperatives change – often, if desired, by means of a comprehensive annual review. 

Coran Stubbington

Coran worked as a bank manager for 20 years, on the South Coast and in London.  She was made redundant in 2019, moved into the world of Business Development Management, joining Protection and investment in 2023.  She is delighted to return to her roots to selling financial services, which is something she has done for 27 years.  She specialises in protection, especially for business owners and teams, helping owners protect the business, themselves, their family and their staff.  She has teenage twins – a boy and a girl – and a dog called Branston.  She loves hosting events.

Nikki Pilling

Job Title

Nikki has been in financial services since 1997.  She was in retail banking and got made redundant in 2018.  She joined Dave at Compass in 2018, and then joined him at Protection and Investment in 2024.  Since 2003, Nikki has specialised in Later Life Lending, including lifetime mortgages.  She admits to being passionate about the difference that Later Life Lending can make to people’s lives.  She has two boys, calls herself a football mum, and her favourite family member is Mabel, the fox-red labrador!

Georgia Long

Georgia joined the team in 2025 and has been keeping us organised ever since.  As our Office Manager, she takes care of all the jobs the rest of us try to avoid and makes sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.  She supports the whole team day to day, helps keep our processes on track, and makes sure everyone has what they need.

Outside of work, Georgia is a proud mum to a 13-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son, so life is always busy!  When she does get a minute to herself, she loves heading out for a walk, enjoying beach days, and unwinding with a spicy margarita or two.
