Every year, the New Model Adviser (NMA) team publishes its list of the top 100 financial planning firms in the UK. It’s one of the most respected accolades in our profession, recognising businesses that are raising standards, putting clients first, and continually improving the way financial planning is delivered.

This year, we were delighted to learn that Bluecoat Wealth Management has been included in the NMA Top 100.

For a firm of our size, being named alongside some of the most established and influential practices in the country is a source of immense pride. The judging panel looks far beyond financial performance. They assess culture, client service, professional development, innovation, and how firms contribute positively to the profession as a whole. Being recognised in these areas is a real honour.

When the news came through, it was one of those moments that causes you to pause and reflect. Behind this achievement is a team that works hard every day to support clients through life’s big decisions and to constantly refine the way we do things. It also reflects the trust you place in us – a trust that genuinely means more than any award.

While recognition like this is always appreciated, it doesn’t change what we do or how we do it. If anything, it motivates us to continue to raise the bar, improve our service, and consistently put our clients’ needs front and centre.

To everyone who has supported us along the way, thank you. We’re proud of this milestone, and even prouder to support the individuals and families who make our work so rewarding.

Here’s to building on this achievement and continuing to deliver the clarity, confidence, and personal service you expect from us.
