David Hughes - Director and owner
I began my career in financial advice in the early 80’s with the Norwich Union, now Aviva, where I first knew Peter. I moved on to an international Lloyds broker and later a provincial wealth management company until catching up with Peter in 2013 where we went on to form Rutherford Hughes Ltd.
I have always enjoyed developing strong and trusted relationships with our clients, putting forward a collaborative team approach, drawing the right skill set to ensure we deliver the best possible outcome.
I have been a wealth manager, a financial planner, and a business leader. I have built robust businesses and believe in good process to ensure good results, at whatever cost I prize integrity above everything else.
My wife Julie and I live in Gosforth, have three children, each now forging their own careers. We both play golf, one of us has been captain twice and has the better handicap which is why I find fly fishing more relaxing.
Peter Rutherford - Director and owner
My career began in financial services with the Norwich Union, one of the foremost training offices within the UK. Using all I had learned, I set up my first financial advisory business in Essex in the 1980’s. The lure of my hometown of Morpeth brought me back to repeat the exercise in the North of England, building one of the leading provincial advisory firms of the area.
I sold my interest in the business, believing that retirement and the golf course beckoned. Little did I know I was to meet my wonderful wife, Dorah, who would give me the sweetest twin daughters and changed my life.
Meeting up again with David has given me the opportunity to reestablish some of the core beliefs we both have in how financial advice should be centred around the client needs rather than around products.
I live in Morpeth with Dorah and my two children, Gabby, and Bella. I play golf but in the main my life is with the family helping them grow.
