The wealth management firm, which manages more than £24bn in assets for private investors, has opened its new premises in Maidstone

The new office is in the leafy Turkey Mill Business Park, which is half a mile from the town centre.

Initially 10 staff will be based at the new office, including four Financial Planners who have “almost 70 years’ experience between them.”

Tilney says it has opened the new office with further expansion in mind and with the intention of recruiting an another Financial Planner and an investment manager to the team by the end of the year.

David Cummins, who heads the Tilney Maidstone office, said: “Recent changes to pensions and tax allowances mean there has never been greater demand for expert financial advice combined with a well-managed investment approach to navigate very uncertain markets.

“Having already established an excellent client base in Kent, the opening of Tilney’s new Maidstone office is a major milestone in achieving our ambition of becoming the most trusted wealth manager in the South East.

“The new office will enable us to better support and advise clients and their families locally and to grow our presence further.

“In particular we look forward to further developing close relationships with region’s leading accountants and solicitors.”
