We take our social responsibility seriously
Taking care of our clients
Providing the highest standards of service is paramount to us, we have designed our systems and procedures to place our clients at the heart of everything we do. To ensure they are treated fairly and respectfully, we have chosen to comply with voluntary codes of industry best practice. These include ‘Buy With Confidence’ which is run by Trading Standards, and the ‘Pension Transfer Gold Standard’ run by the Personal Finance Society. We also comply to the statuary requirements set out by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Contributing to a better future for the wider community
We believe in using our business success in a positive way, supporting a wide range of local charities and community activities. We also think it’s extremely important to do our bit for the environment and give our clients the option to do the same with their capital, which is why we offer ethical investment opportunities. Please see some of the projects we have been involved with below.

Raising money to support The Lewis Moody Foundation for The Brain Tumour Charity
Mark Rockliffe and Lewis Moody MBE’s 1000 Km Charity Challenge…
On the 29th of September, our Managing Director Mark Rockliffe will be joining forces with Lewis Moody MBE and friends to raise money by taking part in an incredible challenge. They’re setting out to cycle a whopping 1000 km over the length of the first World War trench lines from Pfetterhouse on the Swiss boarder to the Belgium coast at Niewport in just seven days, all in support of The Brain Tumour Charity.
The Lewis Moody Foundations ambition is simple to help raise funds for The Brain Tumour Charity and support those affected by Brain Tumours and their families, and raise funds to help with vital research, support and education, building a future in which brain tumours have been tackled for good.
The Lewis Moody Foundation works in partnership with the Brain Tumour Charity, helping to fund Family Days. These run throughout the year and take place all over the country, giving families the chance to escape from the daily routine of hospital visits and medical care.
