Wells Gibson was founded in 2016 by Jonathan Gibson, Managing Director.
What’s in a name? In 1988, Jonathan was introduced to the world of banking by his late grandfather, James Wells Gibson and in 1991, he was introduced to the financial advisory sector by his late father, Terrence Wells Gibson.
Wells Gibson is a boutique, family owned business and represents Jonathan’s career goal to own, manage and lead an independent financial planning and wealth management business.
Based in Dundee and serving clients principally in Scotland, Wells Gibson is focused on establishing and building quality relationships with clients. The plan is to remain small so clients receive a dedicated and specialist, Director led service.
