What do a finance journalist and a World Cup winning rugby player have in common? They're both supporters of independent financial advice, of course! Jeff Prestridge and Will Greenwood both stressed the value of independent financial advice at the recent press launch for Financial Planning Week. They also encouraged the industry to be more transparent when it comes to consumers looking for advice. And as part of the GetAdvised campaign, our research shows more than half of Brits believe they would benefit from seeking financial advice. Communicating your services to consumers has never been so vital. But remember, one week is just the beginning. All year round we promote the value of advice - take a look at our latest value of advice article for FPW on our website.
