It is with tremendous sadness we announce the unexpected passing of our founder, leader and driving force behind our business, James Fisher.
For over 25 years my Dad worked as a Financial Adviser, looking after clients initially with the Co-op Insurance (CIS) and after being made redundant almost 15 years ago he began Financial Services Scotland, building it into what you see today along with his other business FSS Wealth & Pensions.
He loved his work and always viewed it as more of a calling than a job and at the centre of that was his love of meeting new people and looking after his clients, many of whom now feel like extended members of our family. He built our businesses based on the wonderful relationships he had with our clients and he set the standard for us all.
The outpouring of love, kind words, cards and flowers we’ve received over the last fortnight has been overwhelming and is testament to the impact he’s made on so many of you. Hearing so many wonderful stories of his generosity and unseen acts of kindness has brought so much comfort in what has been a truly difficult time. Thank-you.
We understand this news will come as a shock but want to provide reassurance that our businesses will continue as normal though with big shoes to fill and I hope I can continue making him proud and looking after you all as he always did.
For those wishing to pay their respects to my Dad his funeral arrangements are as follows:
Friday 27th February
10am
Clyde Coast & Garnock Valley Crematorium, A760 Largs, Kilbirnie, Dalry KA24 5LE

Family flowers only. A collection will be taken on the day which will be split between charities which were close to my Dad’s heart.
