Clara Metcalfe
Financial Planner
Reasons why I wanted to join Ovation:
For me, being part of a team of likeminded people, who share the same values and vision, is really important. Before I joined Ovation, I felt that I already had a pretty good idea of what lovely people work here based on several team members whom I had the fortune of meeting through the ‘NextGen Planners’ community. From both my own interactions and their reputation as highly active members within the community, I knew that Tom and Christiaan would be both fun and inspiring people to work with and more recently met Phoebe at one of the socials. The team are full of energy and Ovation’s passion for wellbeing, education, coaching and this as well as their community engagement is what drew me to want to be part of the movement!
Outside work
Clara tends to “collect” hobbies. Much to the dismay of her partner, Rob, she has a room full of crafts and gadgets, as well as a garage full of sports and adventure equipment. She’s a fair weather activity kind of person (normally because this involves water or exploring) but loves trying new things, foods and seeing new places.
She loves family holidays to Tenby and France, and visiting family in the southern hemisphere, stopping off at new places on route! In lockdown she discovered “car camping” and fell in love with beautiful, sequestered parts of mid-Wales. For the colder parts of the year, she loves a gripping documentary or TV series and spends a lot of time cooking and experimenting with kitchen gadgets.
She also has a sassy Great Dane called Mango, who shares her love of snacks, naps and the great outdoors, but is known to need an umbrella escort outside when it’s raining.
