(Image: Chris Mills)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;By moving into the exact shop I pointed out to my wife, it will give us that high street presence and base I have always wanted. We look forward to introducing ourselves to the Romsey community and adding value to a wonderful town that has so many great features.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The business has rapidly expanded over three years, starting as a one man band and now a team of six ,the move to Latimer Street will mark an important milestone for the company.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Mr Mills has highlighted the importance of educating people of all ages on money and finances, an important topic that the business owner believes is overlooked in schools.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  He also said the firm aims to become a visible, accessible resource for the community, offering a welcoming environment where people can discuss their financial concerns over a coffee.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  To find out more about Voyage Financial Planning, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/voyagefinancialplanning.co.uk\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawPtqMZleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFpb0dMaHhLejNJVUhxa1dVc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrsIDm53T3iNLb0tn5_DRFeamr0zqwHnxy3ret-8A7dweSke68Q3N7uivHB6_aem_jJwTRrYgh1po3rIFUKTGsA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/voyagefinancialplanning.co.uk\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawPtqMZleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFpb0dMaHhLejNJVUhxa1dVc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHrsIDm53T3iNLb0tn5_DRFeamr0zqwHnxy3ret-8A7dweSke68Q3N7uivHB6_aem_jJwTRrYgh1po3rIFUKTGsA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Voyage Financial Planning, owned by Chris Mills, has announced that it will soon operate from new premises on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[84,4176,4174,4175,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-407700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-finance","tag-business","tag-finance","tag-personal-finance","tag-personalfinance","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
