Gale and Phillipson are already underway with exciting expansion plans by widening their distribution channels in England.
The ambitious firm, which aims to accrue at least £1.5 billion funds under management within 5 years through acquisition and organic growth, recently recruited Robin Joyner Associates as an Appointed Representative. This now expands the reach of the company in the South of England.
The appointment is the first since the merger between jonathanfry plc and Easby Gale & Phillipson, which led to the creation of Gale and Phillipson in February 2015, and is already exploring the next opportunities for new acquisitions.
With 43 years industry experience focused on retirement financial planning, Robin brings a wealth of knowledge from his office base in Surrey. Robin was previously with City Asset Management until the recruitment.
David Carr, Chief Executive, Gale and Phillipson, said adding Robin to the group as an Appointed Representative brings combined strength to the company in addition to the ability to reach clients in the South East, complementing Gale and Phillipson’s growth aspirations.
David said: “We’re delighted to add Robin Joyner as an Appointed Representative. His vast experience and skills are a good match for our unique service offering. Joining us will allow Robin to focus on what he does so well – managing client relationships. He can do this confidently, knowing he is supported by a wider technical and regulatory support team.
Robin Joyner said: “I’m very happy to be joining the Gale and Phillipson group. They are a professional, vibrant and growing company, with a clear focus on meeting client needs and reducing customer costs, which is good news for my clients.
“Personally, I am also pleased to regain my independent status. A great deal of consideration has gone into the decision, but I am very happy with the outcome and sure this will be a long and mutually beneficial union.”
Gale and Phillipson is an independent financial planning and investment management firm, offering services to UK personal, corporate and trustee clients.
