Independent Wealth Planners (IWP) has acquired Leamington Spa-based Financial Planning firm Bishop Armstrong for an undisclosed sum.

David Inglesfield, CEO of acquisitive Financial Planning group Independent Wealth Planners, has spoken exclusively to Financial Planning Today about his plans for expansion, what he has learnt from building five wealth management businesses, and his passion for beekeeping.

Chartered Financial Planner Fairstone has made £5.4m in excess payments to outperforming firms it has acquired through its downstream buy out programme.
