WHO ARE YOU, BLU?

The short version
Poppyblu is led by Certified Financial Planner, Dan Collins. Dan launched his first financial planning practice in Australia in 2004, moving to the UK 6 years later for the greyer skies and more pebbly beaches.

Since 2010, he’s been growing his financial advice business in the UK. Along the way, he has gained a UK Masters’ degree in Financial Planning and built up a caring and supportive team. He also provides specialist financial advice to Australian expats in the UK and UK expats in Oz through a sister business, Poppyred.
