A huge congratulations to Filip on successfully passing his annual ISO 22222 re-certification assessment 👏

ISO 22222 is designed to assess far more than technical knowledge alone. The standard looks at the full financial planning journey - including ethics, professionalism, client understanding, suitability, process, ongoing development, and the ability to deliver advice in a structured, client-focused way.

Annual re-certification demonstrates an ongoing commitment to maintaining those standards and continually operating at a high level within the profession.

A fantastic achievement Filip - very well deserved 🌟

A huge congratulations to Aleksander Slipaczek on successfully achieving re-certification to ISO 22222 - The Financial Planner Standard of Excellence™ 👏

What I’ve always respected about advisers who commit to ISO 22222 is that it’s not a “one and done” certification. The annual assessment process requires advisers to continually demonstrate professionalism, technical competence, ethical standards, client-centred planning, and a genuine commitment to ongoing improvement.

It’s a standard designed for advisers who want to go beyond minimum expectations and show clients, peers, and the wider profession that quality, trust, and professionalism truly matter.

A fantastic achievement once again Aleksander - very well deserved. 🌟

A huge congratulations to Matthews Comfort for successfully achieving re-certification to BS 8453 – The Compliance Framework Standard of Excellence™ 👏

In a world where many businesses aim to simply “meet” compliance requirements, Matthews Comfort continue to demonstrate what it looks like to go above and beyond.

Maintaining high standards year after year takes consistency, leadership, and a business-wide commitment to excellence, and it’s always brilliant to see you continuing to invest in raising the bar.

A very well-deserved achievement for the whole team. 🌟

We are absolutely delighted to confirm that Fell Financial Planning, has been awarded:

*BS 8577 – Framework for the Provision of Financial Advice and Planning Services*

This is no small achievement.

BS 8577 is the dedicated British Standard for financial planning businesses, setting out a structured framework for operational excellence in the provision of advice and planning services. It goes beyond compliance, focusing on governance, leadership, client engagement, process integrity, and continual improvement. For firms serious about raising standards and building a resilient, high-performing business, BS 8577 provides a recognised benchmark of quality and professionalism.

Fell Financial Planning have demonstrated that their systems, governance, client experience and leadership approach meet this rigorous standard.

What makes this even more special is the journey.

Prior to certification, the team successfully completed our two-year Excellence by Design programme, showing consistent commitment to strengthening processes, refining their client proposition, and embedding operational discipline across the business.

They go above and beyond.
They have overcome significant milestones.
They have leaned into growth.
And they have done the work.

We are incredibly proud to have them as certified clients and to now feature them on our official Certified Client List.

Certification is not a destination - it is a commitment to ongoing excellence. We look forward to supporting Fell Financial Planning as their certification journey continues and to seeing them build even further on this strong foundation.

A huge congratulations to the entire team - this is thoroughly deserved.

Certified with Compassion and Courage 🌱

Please join us in congratulating Rachel, who is now officially a Financial Abuse Specialist™ – Certified through Standards International.

This isn’t just a certification — it’s a statement of intent. A commitment to being the kind of professional who sees what others might miss, and acts with care, clarity, and courage when it matters most.

In a world where financial abuse can be invisible yet devastating, this certification equips professionals like Rachel with the skills to:

🔍 Spot the subtle signs of coercion, control, or manipulation
💬 Hold space for difficult conversations with empathy and confidence
🛡️ Act responsibly and supportively to protect clients from harm

As anyone who has completed the programme will tell you — once you’ve seen it, you can’t unsee it. And that’s the point.

This work matters deeply for anyone dealing with clients, money, and moments of vulnerability. Rachel’s new status as a Financial Abuse Specialist™ means she’s now part of our growing community of certified specialists inside the Excellence Hub™, where best practice, shared learning, and support come together to protect what matters most — people.

🌟 Congratulations, Rachel. Your commitment to safeguarding and excellence makes a real difference.

🌟 Celebrating Excellence 🌟

A huge congratulations to Aleksander and Filip on the successful renewal of their ISO 22222 Financial Planner Standard of Excellence™ certification!

This internationally recognised standard sets the benchmark for ethical, client-focused financial planning — and Aleksander and Filip’s continued commitment to these principles is something worth celebrating.

🔍 One of the core strengths of ISO 22222 lies in its requirement for transparency, accountability, and integrity in all financial planning practices. As stated in Clause 4.5.3 – “The financial planner shall ensure that their recommendations are suitable, appropriate, and in the best interests of the client, based on an analysis of the client’s objectives, needs, and circumstances.”

💬 Clients consistently tell us how much they value the rigour of external assessment — knowing their planner isn't just saying they're excellent… they’ve proved it. Independent certification offers reassurance, credibility, and peace of mind in a world where trust is everything.

Well done Aleksander and Filip — a shining example of what it means to embody professionalism with purpose. 👏
