The grand setting of the Banking Hall on Cornhill in the heart of the City of London opposite the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street was the venue for the 2014 Financial Times/Investors' Chronicle Wealth Management Awards hosted by rugby legend and England World Cup winner, Will Greenwood.

Charles Stanley were represented at the evening by a fantastic cross-section of the company hosted by Group PLC Director Anthony Scott who was also on hand to not only give out a prize, as Charles Stanley were associate sponsors of the event, but also to receive any prizes as voted for by the readers of the FT and Investors' Chronicle.

Charles Stanley were nominated in multiple categories against our peer group but were delighted to win one of the premier awards of the evening: The Best Wealth Manager for Inheritance Tax and Succession Planning- an award that recognises the fine work done across the firm with IHT but also the dedicated work of our financial planners up and down the country. 

Speaking about the award, just after picking it up from Will Greenwood and the Editor of the Investors' Chronicle, John Hughman, Anthony commented: "This really is a great recognition for the company and we are delighted to be acknowledged by our clients and readers of both the FT and the IC for our work in IHT and Succession Planning - two key themes that are upmost in our clients minds. It's my belief that Charles Stanley across the country at all 32 offices and in London, is the go-to specialist for later life planning and I commend the teams for continuing to provide such a detailed and thorough service to our clients once again in 2014. We would also like to place on record our thanks to the FT and the Investors' Chronicle - two of our most key media partners - for once again holding such a fantastic event and getting so many of the industry together. A first class job yet again."

Attending the evening from Charles Stanley were: Louis Coke, Rob Clarke, Anthony Scott, Laura King, Camilla Brierley, Suki Copeland, Frank Martin, Robert Brooke, Chris Ainscough and Sarah Jones.
