See the awards photographs in the client centre. On 13 May 2002, the F.T. Financial Adviser Awards were held at Terence Conran's "Quaglino's" restuarant in London. The awards and presentations were hosted by England cricket legend David Gower.
We are absolutely delighted to inform all our users and visitors that we have been awarded 1st Place - Independent Financial Adviser Firm of the Yea rin the small firms (less than 50 employees) category. We thought all our birthdays had come at once when we were also awarded 2nd Place - Website of the Year. (open to all sizes of firm).
To give you an idea of scale and the competition that we face, our websites came a close second to a large National IFA firm's website that recently raised over £18m from a stockmarket flotation for development plans, a £45.9m turnover (last year) and has over 500 employees. Standard Life won Provider of the Year.
In comparison, we are a small, high quality, highly qualified, firm that only started trading 18 months ago and are on a personal mission to make it easier for you to get "One stop financial solutions for all". It is by making sure that our clients come first that we have grown and are still growing.
These awards, from the F.T. Financial Adviser publication, are so welcome as they are from the "big boys" in the financial news world and confirm to us that we are heading in the right direction for development of on-line money for you, our users. Likewise, we hope that it gives you confidence to know exactly what other trusted and impartial sources really think of us.
We have now completed our "hat-trick" of awards over the last few months, having won the Money Marketing Award for Best Use of New Media in March. Thank you again to all those who nominated us and to our users for supporting our cause.
