24 June 2014: Ashcourt Rowan has been named as one of the "Top 25 Financial Planning Firms" by ePrivate Client, the bi-monthly magazine from PAM Insight for private client professionals.

The award looked at a variety of factors, including number of staff and offices, and whether firms offer independent or restricted advice.

This is the second year in a row Ashcourt Rowan has been included in the list.

Commenting on the award, Jonathan Polin, Group chief executive officer, said: "It has been a year of growth for the business and our financial planning arm has been strengthened by our acquisition of UKWM earlier this year. I am delighted that this award recognises the considerable efforts of everyone within our  financial planning team to get the business to where we are today."
