Meet Yorkshire and Humberside’s Most Promising New Business
Future Life Wealth Management’s mission to change the face of the financial advice industry began winning local awards in its first year. Now the company has received two regional awards within a week – ‘Best use of Technology’ from Women in Business and ‘Most Promising New Business Yorkshire and Humberside’ from the British Chambers of Commerce.
In the wake of the financial and banking crises of 2008, Jillian Thomas began planning the launch of a financial advice business that would transform the industry, and rewrite the rule book on dealing with customers in an efficient, expert and transparent manner. Her success was immediate, with the business reaching its year one targets in just 5 months and winning multiple awards in its first year.
Now, Future Life Wealth Management Limited, based just outside Chesterfield at Renishaw Hall, has been recognised by two influential business networks within the same week. First came the Best Use of Technology award, at the Forward Ladies ‘Women in Business Awards’, followed three days later by selection as the Most Promising New Business in Yorkshire and Humberside, from the Chamber of Commerce.
“I knew we were shaking things up when I launched the business,” said Jillian. “Levels of confidence in financial services and in the wider economy couldn’t have been lower, and we knew we would have to offer something radically and tangibly different. However, our team is one of the most highly qualified and experienced in the country, bringing the standards of the leading City advisors to our region. In 2013, the Retail Distribution Review will require each client to be treated autonomously and install minimum standards of qualifications. We have already exceeded the requirements, with our clients benefiting from sophisticated systems to track the performance of their investments – and our performance as their planners. “
“I’m absolutely delighted that, at a time when it is very easy to be cynical about the world of finance, we have been able to lead the way in rebuilding trust. And to have our efforts acknowledged by our peers is very rewarding, and a great tribute to my team.”
