More than eight out of 10 advisers say they would recommend the Financial Planning profession to family and friends, according to a Personal Finance Society poll.

The Personal Finance Society, the 40,000-member professional body, has enlisted the help of ITN Productions to produce a news-style programme called Financial Wellbeing.

Nottingham-based Chartered Financial Planner Jonathan Nicholls has become the fifth PFS Fellow at his company, the RU Group.

The Personal Finance Society has joined forces with major education and training provider Pearson to create a new ‘pathway’ into the financial advice profession.
