About Kentingtons
Kentingtons is a financial advice company located in Salernes, France. Since forming, we have dedicated ourselves to helping private individuals navigate the complex financial landscape of moving to and living in France.
Our History
Kentingtons was founded in 2007 by Robert Kent, who brought over a decade of senior-level experience in the international financial industry. Before establishing Kentingtons, Robert held senior management positions at one of the world’s largest banks and served as a director for the then world’s largest independent advisory group. His specialisation in French financial matters became the cornerstone of Kentingtons.
Over the years, Kentingtons has become a trusted authority on French financial advice.
Kentingtons sponsors the money section in Connexion, France’s largest English-language publication, contributing monthly expert articles. Additionally, we have been featured in esteemed publications like the Financial Times and the Telegraph. We are also proud sponsors of the popular A Place in The Sun exhibition, a company better known for their famous television programme. Our high profile demonstrates our proud commitment to supporting expatriates navigating life in France.
