Our people

Meet our founder

Let’s take it back to 2000. It was the year we celebrated a new millennium, but more importantly for Ian Howe, it was the year he had a professional epiphany and discovered financial planning.

Fast forward 24 years, and Ian now successfully runs Druthers, giving people the confidence that they won’t run out of money. But that’s not the end of Ian’s story.
