Advice network Openwork has attracted a record turnout for a nationwide series of roadshows. 

Advice network Openwork is marking International Women’s Day by pledging to attract more women into the industry as financial advisers and in its executive management team.

Staff and advisers at the Openwork network have raised £562,000 in the past year to help disadvantaged children and young adults, pushing the total raised since 2005 by people working for Openwork to £7.4m.

Openwork, one of the UK’s biggest financial advisory networks, has appointed Carrier Morris from AXA to be its new chief people officer.
