Following the introduction of the new regulatory requirements for the provision of financial advice to individuals, charities and businesses / SMEs at the beginning of 2013, Chapters Financial, which is headed by IFP member Keith Churchouse CFP^CM, has seen greater demand for its services, it says.

With a greater number of enquiries and referrals being received, an increased geographical presence has been implemented to expand the business across Surrey into the future.

Esther Dadswell, director of Chapters Financial, said: "2013 has been an excellent year for our company. With greater confidence from both individuals and business owner/managers as we move into an economic growth phase, we felt the timing was right to expand our independent financial planning offering to other areas of Surrey.

"The new acquisition of a Woking office suits the growing need we have experienced over the last 9 years of business and we look forward to the new opportunities ahead. Our recent BS8577 certification, one of only 12 companies in the UK, will also help us with the delivery of high standard service to our clients and enquirers. We also look forward to adding to the community of Woking as we establish our brand in this additional location.'

The new Woking office will be based at One Crown Square and will be fully operational from mid- October.
