The Company
The Directors wanted to establish a company where clients are given reliable, honest and clear advice in respect of their financial planning needs. The company was founded in July 2000, is fully independent and is directly authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
From the beginning, we have always been a fee based firm as we believed that this was the only way to ensure our complete independence and provide impartial advice.
The company has a strong sense of corporate and social responsibility and over the years has embarked on a number of initiatives with local and national charities in order to put something back into the community.
