Two Paraplanners have been added to the team of a wealth management firm.

Paraplanners have been challenged to test their skills by entering a top national award for their profession.

The chief executive of Succession Group says it “is commercially and morally right” to train his staff to at least Level 6 qualification after embarking on a pilot scheme with the IFP.

Paraplanners should be paid equally as well as advisers, Succession Group chief executive Simon Chamberlain says.

A director of an IFP corporate member said staff at his firm have worked like 'slaves' to get ready for the pension reforms, saying the pace of change was 'bonkers'.

The fifth IFP Paraplanner Conference is set to take place in the Midlands.

A clear lack of available Paraplanners in the jobs market has emerged, a report has concluded.

Budding Paraplanners are being asked what would be the top three wishes they ask a genie to grant them in order to help them kick start their careers.

The Paraplanning profession has hit its highest point yet, an IFP board member believes, with "massive demand" from professionals to learn how to set up their own Paraplanning business.

Tomorrow could mark the beginning for up to a dozen new Paraplanning start up businesses as a leading Paraplanner gets set to pass on his knowledge.
