Elizabeth Mackenzie, Managing Director and IFA
In 1985, having completed a degree in French at LSE, I joined TSB Bank and after much study became an Associate of the Institute of Bankers. In 1991, I was invited to join the Investment Practice as an Independent Financial Adviser. What a steep learning curve both in the role and – more exams! I have never looked back. A highlight of my career was speaking regularly on Premier Radio with Cindy Kent about financial planning for women. More recently I have joined the steering committee of the Association of Christian Financial Advisers (ACFA).
I am passionate about ensuring that women understand their finances and engage with them confidently. As a woman, I can draw on my own experience and stand alongside them whether they are single or in a committed relationship to ensure that as individuals, they feel financially secure.
I continue to have the privilege of advising many individuals, single and married, male and female, those starting out in their career through to those on their retirement journey. Their professional lives span from missionary to charity fund manager, doctor to IT consultant. Many of whom are so pleased with our service, they regularly refer their relatives and friends to us. In some cases, we cater to three generations!
I have two daughters, one of whom, I am delighted to say, has joined Grange with a view to becoming an adviser.
I am an active church member, I enjoy many sports such as running and tennis and enjoy travelling, reading, walking my dog and meeting with friends.

Ellen Mackenzie, Senior Financial Planning Administrator
I joined Grange Financial Planning after working at a local advisory firm for a year as a Financial Planning Administrator.
I decided to work with my mother, Liz, as she gave me my introduction into financial planning and has been a great inspiration to me.
I have been in my role as a Senior Financial Planning Administrator for over two years now and assist Liz with providing quality and personal advice to our clients.
I hope to follow in her footsteps and either train as a Paraplanner or Financial Advisor in the next couple of years.
