Currently, Jelley will serve as the sole director and consultant for the new firm.
Jelley expects that there will be a huge demand for consultancy work from advisors following the Budget’s pension reform, the retail distribution review (RDR), and the growing advice gap.
Jelley left Skandia earlier this year, having re-joined in February. He has also worked for 17 years with Skandia as head of tax and financial planning, and joined SJP in May 2011 as a divisional director of private clients.
Jelley said: "I am pleased to have experienced so much interest from across the market and am looking forward to sharing my experience more widely in contract, interim or permanent positions.
