What our clients say

Sean Vendy

Professional Badminton Player

As a professional athlete, getting the right financial advice is incredibly important. Since working with Franklyn, they’ve opened my eyes to areas you don’t even think about as a sportsperson, and that insight has already been hugely valuable.

Andrew Wilson

Professional Golfer

The team at Franklyn have been amazing since I’ve started working with them, giving me the confidence and security that my finances are in the best possible hands for the years to come.

Ben Lane

Professional Badminton Player

I first met Andrew and Will at an NBL match, and we instantly connected through our shared passion for badminton and sport. Since then, we’ve met on several occasions and were introduced to Franklyn’s Elite Sport Programme.
