I worked in my family business and office for over 18 years
I and my specialist team of associates have a totally unique knowledge and experience on succession and the dynamics and mechanics of Families, Wealth and Business.
I have worked with young leaders for over 30 years
I am constantly being asked by Families and their advisers to coach, mentor and help members of their family with their careers and life journey.
I am regularly asked to run bespoke Next Generation and Succession programmes for clients
We work with, advise and review Family Offices on their setup and running.
We can help develop strategies to better understand and attract the Next Generation to your organisation.

About Sandy Loder
After a decade of advising families, I find myself uniquely qualified amongst my peers.
A fifth generation member of a large family
After working in my family business Robert Fleming & Co for 8 years, I was asked to help establish a single-family office for the Fleming family, following the sale of the family business.
This office then went onto become the multi-family office of Fleming Family & Partners, which subsequently merged with Stonehage.
I worked in our family office for a further 10 years, before leaving to set up AH Loder Advisers.
I have worked with over 500 family members
I find myself much in demand for my services and unique knowledge. This takes me all over the world working with amazing families, family offices and family businesses from different cultures, who are all seeking to maintain and grow their family success. I have worked with a whole range of different families around the world – I obviously cannot name them, but many are well known.
I am also a regular keynote speaker at conferences on a range of topics.
Why I can help:
As a 5th generation member of a large family, I better understand the needs of the family
I worked in my family business for over 18 years
I set up a single family office
I was a Board member of the Family Trust company
I have personal experience of family divorce
I have personal experience of family litigation and family conflict
I have worked extensively with over 500 younger members of families for nearly 20 years
I attended Harvard Business School, have the Advanced Certificate in Family Business Advising from the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners (STEP), am a member of the Institute for Family Business (IFB) and the British Psychological Society.
Previously, I served as an officer in the British Army, serving on military operations in Northern Ireland, Cyprus and Sierra Leone.
I recently stepped down as a Trustee of JK Rowling’s charity Lumos.
I was nominated for Spear’s Outstanding Achievement Award 2018, was finalist for the STEP Family Business Advisor of the Year 2015/16, 2014/15 and 2013/14; the Spears WMS Next Generation Award 2013; the STEP Trusted Advisor of the Year 2012/13 and Short-listed for the Red Ribbon Award for Family Business Ambassador 2012.
