I joined Colmore Partners in a marketing and comms role earlier this year as a fresh graduate, and while there’s been plenty to learn and get to grips with – one thing that has naturally resonated with me is the company’s ethics and moral compass, and how they engage with the challenges my generation faces.

Imran is the latest addition to the Colmore Partners team, having joined us in May as a Certified Financial Planner™. After graduating from the University of Manchester, he worked in the legal sector, serving as Practice Director at a barrister-led law firm.

It’s fair to say that the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has boomed in recent years. While the technology itself has been around for some time, I think we can all agree that applications such as ChatGPT have made it far more accessible to the general public.
