Mr Netherway began his advisory career with NatWest, later becoming an IFA.

He will continue to work in and around his native Barnstaple, with clients throughout the South West.

Martin Brown, managing partner at Continuum, said: “We have always put client needs at the heart of what we do at Continuum. The approach that Curtis takes is the perfect match for our own. We are very pleased to have him – and his experience and enthusiasm – join us. Both Continuum and our clients – present and future will benefit from the skills that he brings.”
