Blevins Franks Report
Blevins Franks has been providing specialist, professional financial advice to British expatriates for over 45 years, and has earned a reputation as the leading international tax and wealth management advisers to UK nationals living in Europe. They have 20 offices around Europe, including nine in France, which provide tax, investment, pensions and estate planning services to private clients. They also have an office in Monaco.
We are delighted that Blevins Franks picked Riviera Radio as their main marketing tool in the Riviera area, with these weekly Reports airing for over 25 years now.
Rob Kay, the Blevins Franks Senior Partner for France and now Regional Director, joined these financial planning discussions in 2015 and has been dishing out great advice since then. Since 2024 he alternates with two other Blevins Franks advisers, Tom Marron and James Griffiths, who are also based locally in south-east France.
Their Sunday reports are complimented by regular ads to remind people how Blevins Franks can help them.
You can hear Rob Kay, Tom Marron and James Griffiths on Sundays at 9:30 am and again at 7:30pm. Check out their website, www.blevinsfranks.com
