Our people

Charles Scott

Director

Charles’s career started as a management trainee with a large insurance company, and moved to Insurance Broking in 1973.  He founded Macbeth Scott & Co in 1986, following the introduction of new legislation, and is qualified both as an insurance broker and a level 4 Independent Financial Adviser.

When not at work he is likely to be found near a rugby ground, or listening to live music.  Sometimes as with Status Quo’s gig at Kendal Rugby Club, he’s doing both at the same time!

Angela Pooley

Director

Since 1986 Angela has specialised in Financial Services, in particular, Corporate Financial Planning, Investments and Inheritance Tax Planning.  Having originally worked in the Corporate Sector of one of the UK’s largest clearing banks, Angela joined Macbeth Scott & Company Life and Pension Services Ltd in 1995.  She maintains and develops our business relationships with legal and accountancy professionals, as well as maintaining on-going relationships with our clients.  In addition, Angela mentors members of our team who see their long term future careers with our company.
