Martin Welsh

Managing Director & Financial Adviser

Martin is the Co-Managing Director of Welsh & Taylor Wealth, one of Aberdeen’s fastest growing and highest rated independent financial advice firms.

With over a decade of experience in financial planning, Martin plays a key role in both the strategic direction of the business and the day-to-day delivery of advice to clients. He holds Senior Management Functions (SMF16 and SMF17), with responsibility for compliance and financial crime within the firm, ensuring the highest standards are maintained across the business.

Before moving into financial services, Martin spent eight years working in design engineering within the oil and gas industry. This background has shaped his approach to financial planning, bringing a structured, analytical mindset to complex situations and a clear focus on delivering practical, long-term solutions.

Today, Martin works closely with individuals and families who have built significant pension and investment assets and want clear, long-term advice around retirement and wealth planning. He works with a select group of clients to ensure a high level of personal service and ongoing engagement, helping them make confident, well-informed decisions about their wealth and future.

Martin’s approach is centred around clear, honest advice and long-term relationships, ensuring clients fully understand their financial position and the decisions they are making. Alongside his client work, he is passionate about building a strong team and a business defined by trust, transparency and exceptional client outcomes.

Outside of work, Martin enjoys spending time with his wife Lesley, their son Connor and their black Labrador, Hugo. Most weekends you will find him playing in the garden with Connor, out on long family walks, or away enjoying family holidays by the pool or beach. He also values time spent exploring Scotland, making sure Hugo does not miss out.
