Thursday’s sold-out Paraplanners' Powwow - the annual get-together for Paraplanners who meet  up in teepees in Northants - will feature the FCA’s Chris Hewitt as a keynote speaker.

Mr Hewitt, a technical specialist at the regulator, will be the event’s ‘guru speaker’, when Paraplanners convene in teepees, in Aynho,
Northamptonshire.

Mr Hewitt joined the regulator in 2010 and has spent his time concentrating on the supervision of firms delivering financial advice to retail consumers.

Prior to that he worked in the financial advisory sector, holding a variety of research and Paraplanning roles. He will be one of a number of expert speakers.

The Western-themed event will feature campfires and face paint to accompany the informal discussions.

Paraplanners will meet tomorrow night ahead of the event for a meal – or ‘Chowwow’.

The event is sold out and organisers gave the option of two ticket prices - £30 or £50 depending on how much visitors want to support the Powwow financially.
