He undertakes a pivotal role in our firm’s privileged position as AFC Wimbledon’s Official and Exclusive Wealth Manager, regularly liaising with the football club to arrange our bi-monthly financial clinics for AFC Wimbledon fans and staff at the stadium on the mornings of home games, as well as arranging presentations with the men’s first team, the women’s first team and their respective management teams.
Outside of work, Sebastian enjoys classic cars, he regularly drives his 1964 Triumph TR4 to classic car shows, and he is also a keen biker and the proud owner of his cherished Harley Davidson Fat-Boy classic anniversary edition which is exactly the same bike made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2. He also enjoys rock music, – and in particular his annual trek to Donnington Park for the Download Rock Festival.
Sebastian has what he describes as a perfect and settled work & life balance, having bought his second house in 2024, he is now very much looking forward to his wedding day on 26th September this year, to his long-term fiancée Kirsty.
