Independent financial advisers Vantis Financial Management Ltd, a Vantis plc group company, has added another high level experienced adviser to its Leicester team.

Colin Hopewell, who was recruited in response to increased demand from local clients, joins as a Senior Consultant, with over 25 years’ experience in the profession. Colin specialises in advising on complex pensions, investments and employee benefits.

Commenting on the appointment, Mike Pole, Managing Director of Vantis Financial Management Ltd, said: “These days, demand for practical, quality independent financial advice is greater than ever. People have become very concerned by the events of the last few months and need clear advice on what to do with their investments, pensions and monies in the bank. The appointment of Colin to our existing team of 20 based in Leicester will support us in meeting this demand.”

Colin added: “I am very excited to join Vantis. The company provides holistic advice for individuals and businesses and has a strong reputation throughout the country.

“One of the factors that attracted me to Vantis is its ability to provide clients with joined up independent financial advice – as well as tax, accountancy and business advice. Thanks to its broad range of services and expertise, I’m very much looking forward to working with the team and helping clients find their way through what looks to be a very challenging year.”
