Business Studies students at Bolton School were lucky enough to
be given financial advice from Justin Urquhart Stewart, Marketing
Director and co-founder of Seven Investment Management, and one of
the most recognisable and trusted market commentators.
Justin spoke to the whole of the Boys' Division Sixth Form and
Sixth Form Business students from the Girls' Division for 15
minutes before a more in depth presentation to the Business
students only. With twenty years experience following the ups and
downs of the markets, Justin's assessments, predictions and witty
observations gave the students plenty to think about. He shared his
wealth of knowledge with the students and offered a calm,
clear-sighted view of the current economic climate for Britain and
the rest of the world, along with advice on pensions and how to
manage finances and university debt. His outlook was very
optimistic, encouraging students to not be put off and go to
university, and to look at starting their own businesses, saying
that it is not all doom and gloom as it may seem in the media.
Having trained as a barrister, Justin took up corporate finance,
working in both Africa and Singapore. He then returned to the UK
and helped in the developments towards Big Bang in 1986 in London
which led to him helping to found Broker Services in 1986. Broker
Services went on to become Barclays Stockbrokers, where Justin was
Corporate Development Director. In early 2001, he co-founded Seven
Investment Management. He writes regularly for national magazines
and newspapers, and is a frequent commentator on television and
radio, both in the UK and abroad.
