We are delighted to have been included in this prestigious list of firms for the seventh year running in 2021.

New Model Adviser magazine is dedicated to helping financial planning professionals in their personal and business development. Each year, the magazine produces a list of the top 100 independent financial advisers, which considers the following elements: the firm’s profitability, recurring income, qualifications and commitment to the profession. The methodology is discussed and approved by the independent actuarial firm AKG.

Andrew Day, our Director and Chartered Financial Planner, commented that: “Our inclusion in this well-established list is great recognition of the hard work and dedication that every member of our team is making to deliver a first-class service to our clients”.
