Freelance Journalist, Hannah Duncan Investment Content

After years of working in wealth management 🥱 I set up on my own! 🕺 Launching myself off the cliff of financial stability, I became a freelance writer in 2019. 🚀 And I LOVE IT. Maybe too much. 👉 I write about fintech and sustainable investments like it's a curse. Like I cannot control my own fingertips on a keyboard 👻 👉 If you listen closely to my heartbeat it sounds like "ex-pose green-wash, ex-pose green-wash" Probably when all the greenwash has been exposed I will curl up in a ball and wither away. 🌿 ... I have a while! 👉 My blog - the creatively named, "Hannah's Blog" - is an open book to my soul. It's full of research, interviews and swearing. 🖊 If you need an article about fintech or investments, please check out my recommendations below and reach out! 🤗 I'd love to hear from you!

Director, Beacon Strategic Communications

Former founding member, product designer then PR & lobbyist at Virgin Direct (1995-2001), but left when it turned evil and into Virgin Money in late 2001. Operated since then as freelance adviser to the genuine "good guys" of finance under my own Beacon brand - for some 20 years now. Known as a passionate activist for better, greener and more ethcial finance and most recognised for getting alternative finance off the ground by making Zopa famous and respected in its early days. Followed this with the fabulous Abundance Investment (still my client), Seedrs, the Pensions Policy Institue, the Fairbanking Foundation, the Finance Innovation Lab, EXO Investing, and more recently Sprive, Yayzy, Tred, Earnr, Novus and Quirk.   Obsessed with cheaper vintage electric guitars and being outside (grew up in Canada - never got over it).
