Will joined Ashbridge Partners in 2017 following a 44-year career in banking. He grew up in rural Gloucestershire, the son of a farm manager, but his skills lay in finance. He spent much of his career at NatWest, eventually progressing to a client manager role, dealing with farm and estate clients. In 2006 he left Natwest to set up a new Oxford branch for Handelsbanken.

Will retired from Handelsbanken in 2017, but continues to live in Oxfordshire, enjoying country pursuits and spending time with his grandchildren. He also enjoys playing golf and gundog training.
