Three financial advisers have joined the St James’s Place partnership, with two joining from Fairstone.
Wilma Edwards of Northumberland-based WE Wealth and Paul Telford of Newcastle-based Paul Telford Financial Planning both join from Fairstone.
Northamptonshire-based Nick Dixon, of Nick Dixon Financial Planning, joined the partnership internally having worked for a St James’s Place partner practice as a technical Paraplanner and adviser.
Ms Edwards has a decade of experience with Santander, Quilter and Fairstone, with four of those years as an adviser. Her focus is on retirement planning, estate planning, wealth accumulation and protection.
Mr Telford started his financial services career with Halifax in 2010 as a banking consultant, which included protection advice. He said he wanted to join SJP to have a new, exciting challenge, better systems and software and the satisfaction of building his own business.
James Rainbow, CEO of S. James’s Place Wealth Management, said: “We are delighted to welcome Wilma, Paul and Nick to the SJP Partnership. They bring a significant range of experience in financial services and the advice profession, with a commitment to building their businesses and offering long term relationships with their clients, which in turn strengthens what SJP offers in the UK.”
St James’s Place was founded in 1991 and has over £240 billion in funds under management (as of June 2026).
The SJP partnership contains nearly 5,000 advisers at 2,700 partner firms.
