Paula Steele moves into consultancy position at John Lamb Hill Oldridge
John Lamb Hill Oldridge is marking a new chapter following our 65th anniversary in 2024. As part of this evolution, Paula Steele, one of our owners, has transitioned from her role as Director to take up a consultancy position.
This means we will continue to benefit from her extensive experience as she marks a shift in her professional focus.
A driving force in the upward trajectory of our firm
Paula has played a significant role in shaping our firm’s culture, client-first ethos, and long-term success.
Her career in financial services spans over four decades, beginning in 1978 when she joined John Lamb. In 1984, she was involved in a management buyout of the business, which continued to trade under the John Lamb name.
Over the years, she has led the business through multiple phases, including wealth management, protection brokerage, tax planning, and general insurance ventures.
This transition will not impact client service, day-to-day operations, or the firm’s strategic direction.
The business remains firmly focused on supporting high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families with specialist, independent advice.
Ken Maxwell, Director at JLHO, said: “Paula has made an invaluable contribution to John Lamb Hill Oldridge over many years. We are delighted that she will continue to work with us as a consultant, supporting the team and the business as we move forward with confidence.
“The firm’s 65th anniversary in 2024 was a significant milestone, and we continue to build on that legacy with the same commitment to excellence and client service.”
Paula said: “John Lamb Hill Oldridge has been a hugely important part of my professional journey. Over the past four decades, I have had the privilege of leading the business through many different stages – from wealth management to protection brokerage. I am proud of what we have built together and look forward to continuing to support the team in this new capacity.”
This transition marks an important step in our ongoing evolution, demonstrating our commitment to stability, continuity, and a clear long-term vision for the future.
