Kriss Brining, a former professional rugby league player of York Knights and Salford Red Devils fame, celebrates his seventh anniversary as a PenLife Independent Financial Planner this year.
After suffering a serious neck injury when playing for Betfred Super League side, Kriss undertook his journey with PenLife as an apprentice at the end of 2018, later qualifying as an Independent Financial Planner in 2021. Following a further injury in 2022, Kriss decided to hang up his boots once and for all, and focus on his new career. Speaking on the crucial role of the esteemed local firm’s supportive culture in his development, Kriss said: “PenLife has given me the space to grow both personally and professionally. The team works closely together, shares knowledge openly, and genuinely cares. It’s a fantastic environment to learn and continually improve. Supporting clients throughout life’s different stages is what makes the job so interesting.”
In praise of Kriss’ contribution and unique journey from the rugby pitch to PenLife, Director Deb Jacobs said: “Kriss brings a combination of discipline, empathy, and determination to his work. His journey from professional sport to financial planning is inspiring, and his commitment to clients reflects the values we stand for at PenLife. We are incredibly proud of everything he has achieved and everything still to come.”
