Background

About Catherine Bell

I'm proud to be the Managing Director of Mearns & Company, a multi award winning firm of Chartered Financial Planners and Employee Benefits consultants based in Edinburgh. I've been with Mearns & Company since and was appointed as Managing Director in January 2018. Mearns & Company achieved Platinum Investors in People status in 2018, and was the fourth financial services company in the UK to achieve this level of accreditation. We have also been awarded the Gold Standard for Independent Financial Advice ten times since 2009. It is an honour to work with such a fantastic, highly skilled team of colleagues. I am also a Director of Lightbox Reward, an Edinburgh based FinTech specialising in Employee Benefits communication technology. Lightbox Reward enables employers to offer flexible benefits to their workforce. By using the Lightbox platform employers can effectively 'shine a light' on their employee benefits provision to help to engage and retain employees. I'm a member of the Investors in People Advisory Board for Scotland. Through this position I help to develop the strategy for the delivery of the accreditation framework in Scotland. I'm also an adviser to a partnership board of an LLP with offices in Edinburgh, London and Dublin. I have a passion for people, staying true to values and believe strongly in the importance of a positive organisational culture.
