A SOUTHAMPTON-based business has scooped a prestigious "Wealth Management" award.

Investment Management firm Redmayne Bentley’s Southampton office was recognised at the 2020 City of London Wealth Management Awards (COLWMA), and the firm was named Regional Wealth Manager of the Year: Southern England.

The awards recognise the high levels of service and quality in the UK's Wealth Management sector and the ceremony was supported by the London Stock Exchange.

Conrad Fry, Head of the Southampton office, said: “We are grateful to our clients in the region who have nominated us for this award.

"This recognition adds to a range of industry accolades received over a number of years. It demonstrates that we consistently deliver excellent results for our clients throughout our investment management and stockbroking services.

"While we are extremely proud of this achievement, we do not become complacent: clients always have been and will remain the focus of everything we do - our investment managers, stockbrokers and supporting staff are resolutely focused on delivering a personal service to clients and achieving the best possible outcome for them

This year’s award saw a record-breaking number of almost 33,500 votes placed by investors, and individual awards were also presented to Redmayne Bentley staff: Darren Hirsh Outstanding - Individual Achievement and Fraser Robb - Exceptional Customer Service.

The awards ceremony took place on 4th March, at the Guildhall, London.
