Barry Horner commented: “Financial Planners among the 6000 strong readership of New Model Adviser® completed an in-depth survey and were then judged on factors such as professional qualification and client satisfaction. 220 short-listed firms were then taken through a further interview process, looking in detail at these areas and additional factors such as client education, communication and the use of technology to run an efficient financial planning business. We are thrilled to be recognised as a firm that delivers outstanding financial planning solutions to our clients.”
