IFP welcomes two new Gold Corporate Members
The Institute of Financial Planning has welcomed two new Gold Corporate Members on board for 2015.
MetLife and Schroders have become the latest companies to join the ranks.
Sue Whitbread, communications director, said: "Corporate Members play an essential role in supporting the IFP to develop the Financial Planning profession. "Having the support of these organisations that are genuinely interested in Financial Planning brings significant benefits for members as well as for the IFP.
"We're delighted to announce that MetLife and Schroders have become the latest Gold Corporate Members to join the IFP."

She said: "Of course, we benefit financially from their support but in many other ways too as their support helps us to spread the word about what real Financial Planning is all about to non-members and consumers alike.
"Our website stats for example reveal that we receive a significant amount of web traffic from the sites of our Corporate Members."
For IFP members, the technical help and support that Corporate Members provide via e-bulletins and events is "invaluable", she said, as well as offering expertise as exhibitors.
Ms Whitbread said: "We know you're busy people but you're also professionals. The relationship between IFP members and Corporate Members is generally very positive.
"We love to see IFP members engaging with our Corporate Members, acknowledging the time and energy they invest into growing our profession. So, the next time you're at one of our branch meetings or conferences, please spare some time to chat with them - as well as carrying out some valuable market research and due diligence you'll meet some great people too."
