“These appointments further strengthen the team who support our advisers and are often the first port of call for our clients.

“Emma’s experience and our commitment to supporting Rebekah proves how we like to not only bring in those already established within the industry but also to grow our own talent.

“We have built an award-winning team and we are continuing to grow with more plans to expand further into the county to support our expanding client base.

“We pride ourselves on delivering clear, friendly and straightforward financial advice.”

Emma Chegwin, Financial Planning Co-ordinator said:
