A Perth business has been recognised for three awards for their impeccable services in financial advice.

Carbon Financial Partners, based in Atholl Crescent in Perth, has received the‘personal finance sectors chartered financial planners of the year’award and the ‘UK advisor firm of the year’ accolade.

For five successive years Carbon Financial has also secured the gold standard award for independent financial advice.

Managing director Gordon Wilson started the business 18 years ago.

He said:“Firms who have managed to achieve chartered status represent the pinnacle of the emerging financial planning profession.”

“These awards have reinforced our position as on of the UK’s leading financial advice businesses and we’d like to think Carbon have enhanced Perth’s long-standing profile on the country’s personal finance map.

“Being hailed the‘UK chartered planners of the year’offered recognition of the quality and high standards set by everyone involved in the business.

“It is an exciting time for the business, with the decision to open a London office prompted largely by interest from the ex-pat community and the success of our expansion in Scotland in recent years.

“Naturally, you have to walk before you can run but, having established ourselves in Perth, client-driven demand has paved the way to expansion and we now employ 40-plus staff across our five offices. But Perth is where it all began and it continues to play a crucial role in the business.”
