Rachel Stewart

After 15 years as a lawyer in Edinburgh, Rachel set up local financial planning business Traprain Financial in 2020. Rachel is a multi-award winning Chartered Financial Planner and Fellow of the Personal Finance Society. It was a chance meeting with Katie, CEO of The Ridge, which prompted Rachel to investigate possible Trusteeship. This will be Rachel’s first Trustee role and she hopes to bring the enthusiasm and drive which helped her to set up her successful company whilst learning the ropes and getting more involved with The Ridge.

When not working, Rachel will either be keeping fit or with her young family and beloved dog Harry enjoying the wonderful East Lothian beaches and countryside.
