Meet our Management & IFA Support Team

When selecting an Independent Financial Adviser, it is important to establish that they are not only authorised but also independent, suitably qualified and experienced. We are confident that we fit these criteria and more.

In addition to our advisers, there is back-up from a qualified and experienced management and support team who ensure that there is always continuity of service and a point of contact.

Victoria Womack - Practice Manager

I joined Adanac in 2013 as Practice Manager, responsible for the day-to-day management and supervision of the office. I also keep the company accounts in order; fulfilling our reporting requirements to the FCA and generally all finance related matters. Having worked in financial services for over 20 years, I have worked in various roles from advisory to compliance and am currently updating my qualifications with the CII.

I enjoy the wide variety of tasks that my role entails – no two days are the same!

In my spare time I enjoy coastal walks, gardening and spending time with family and friends.

Lauren Potter - Senior IFA Support Executive

I joined Adanac in 2019, initially completing a business administration apprenticeship in conjunction with Yeovil College and aquiring invaluable skills and knowledge over this time, I then progressed to a permanent role within the Support Team. I am committed to advancing my financial knowledge and am currently studying for the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning with the CII.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, going on dog walks with my Cocker Spaniel Teddy and travelling abroad. My favourite place to date is New York City.

Misha Lanham - Apprentice IFA Support Executive

I joined Adanac in September 2025 and am currently completing a Level 3 Financial Services Administration apprenticeship in conjunction with Skills Edge. I am looking forward to building my knowledge and developing my skills over the coming months while working closely alongside Lauren, Mary and the rest of the team. I am excited to grow my career within financial services.

In my spare time, I enjoy coastal walks and baking at home.

Mary Gibbons - IFA Support Executive

I first joined Adanac in 2016 before taking time out to go travelling and complete my university studies. I rejoined the team in September 2025 and now work alongside Lauren and Misha, assisting with client administration and supporting the advisers.

I am looking forward to developing my skills further and continuing my career within financial services.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, horse riding, travelling, and spending time with family and friends.
