France Financial is run by me, Rob Hesketh. I am a former international banker now living in the Aude department of the Languedoc Roussillon. I spent 30 years working in International Banking in the City of London and in Brussels. My banking experience lies mainly in the areas of foreign exchange; corporate treasury; money markets and bond financing. Following my retirement from the banking world in 2003, my wife and I fulfilled our long term ambition of moving to the South of France. I joined the Spectrum IFA Group in 2005, and began to study the salient differences between the financial systems in the UK and France, concentrating specifically on the areas of interest to UK expatriates. Since mid 2006 I have been registered with and authorised by the French fiscal authorities. I am now a partner in Spectrum, and look after their client relationships in the South West of France.
