Meet the Team

Hello, I'm Andrew, the force behind Edgemont Financial Services Limited. I believe in keeping things simple, telling you what you need to know, not just what you want to know. Beyond crafting financial futures, you'll catch me out running, walking on the beach, passionately cheering for Leeds United, and cherishing a 40 year journey with my amazing family. I am passionate about what i do, and making sure that I always, give best advice.

I have spent the best part of 30 years as an Entrepreneur, having learnt hard lessons along the way. I always look to add value where i can, in whatever i do, and look forward to what the next 5 years has in store for us.

I'm Valery Pillay, an Estate Planning Consultant at Edgemont Financial Services. But let me take you back a bit. Before I ventured into the world of Estate Planning, I was a Legal Assistant and Procurement Advisor. It was then that I realized the true power of estate planning in safeguarding the future. Born and raised in South Africa, I've always had a passion for innovation, administration and problem-solving. I channelled this passion into my studies in History and International Relations. I mean, who wouldn't want to sit around debating global issues all day, right? However my thirst for knowledge and desire to make a broader impact led me to pursue an LLB.

Combining my expertise on international relations and estate law, I'm now equipped to tackle the intricate world of estate planning. With my diverse background and experience, I've got your back.
