Bristol-based Financial Planning firm Paradigm Norton became the latest firm this week to launch its own academy, this time a twist on the more general initiatives with a ‘Leadership Academy’ in partnership with University of the West of England.

In these days of remote working, video calling and cloud computing, it suprises me that actually getting together with other finance professionals remains not just popular but increasingly so.

Financial Planners and others from the financial sector were honoured at the PFS Awards last night. 

PFS chief executive Keith Richards has said feedback on the PFS 'Futureproof' Financial Planning Conference - held in Birmingham yesterday (Thurs 28 November) has been "absolutely fantastic" and he was delighted with the turnout as nearly 2,000 finance professionals took part.
