How We Started
Brook Grove began in 2014 when our founder, having spent fifteen years in financial services, noticed a troubling pattern: people weren't struggling with money because they were careless—they simply hadn't been taught how finances work.
Schools rarely cover personal finance in depth. Parents often feel unequipped to teach what they themselves weren't taught. The result is generation after generation learning about money through trial and error, often with costly mistakes along the way.
We set out to change that. Starting with small workshops in community centres across Leeds, we developed courses that cut through the jargon and focus on practical skills people can use immediately.
