Professional Adviser Awards 2020 | Incisive Media | 20 September 2019 | The Brewery, 52 Chiswell St, London EC1Y 4SD, UK

Professional Adviser is once more issuing the call for advisory businesses the length and breadth of the UK to showcase their knowledge, skills and commitment to client care by entering our 2020 Awards.

If you believe your business boasts an outstanding, client-focused and repeatable advice process, then please do make sure the company is in with a chance of being named Adviser Firm of the Year for your region - with one winner ultimately to be crowned the overall ‘Adviser Firm of the Year'.

Now proudly in their 15th year, the awards will also recognise the best in multi-asset investing, platform provision, adviser support and client engagement, as well as crowning our Paraplanner of the Year and Adviser Personality of the Year.

And, in recognition of the increasingly important role technology has to play in financial advice, Professional Adviser has added two new technology-based awards to the list of honours, details of which can be found below.

In total, more than 200 advisers, firms and providers were under consideration for the 2019 Professional Adviser Awards, which seek to reward excellence within both the financial advice community and among the broader financial services sector.
