Bob Freeman, chief operating officer of Voyant UK, said: “Since Voyant launched its UK operation the pace of growth has been rapid.  Our US parent company in Texas was already regarded as a leader of innovation and entrepreneurship and given the unique combination of their incredible vision and technological expertise, creating Voyant Adviser for the UK market was an obvious next step. 



"Unlike some of the more established UK technology players, Voyant was never burdened by legacy technology and therefore able to create simple and effective solutions with much faster speed to market than its competitors.
 
“Over three years, the results speak for themselves and our growth just continues to accelerate.  There is much hard work ahead now with Voyant’s development plans moving rapidly and many new announcements on the horizon.  It’s a really exciting time for us, our dedicated users and of course all their clients that continue to get the real end benefit.”
