After a year in which we reached a great many milestones for the Group, we are delighted to announce that Blacktower Financial Management are the winners of the International Adviser Best Practice Award for Marketing Excellence in Europe.
Of the accreditation, Group Managing Director, Gavin Pluck said:
‘Let us not forget that while many entered survival mode in 2020, 2021 has not been the return to normality for which we hoped. As a business and as people, we have dealt with the aftershocks of one of the most turbulent years our industry has faced and so to be recognised as Europe’s leader of Marketing in our industry is a recognition of which we are enormously proud.
Our objective is simple – to add value to every person’s interaction with the brand and so Best Practice in this area is non-negotiable for us. During a time in which there is an overflow of alarming and contradictory advice available in an instant, our duty has been for 35 years and ever will be, to give sound, rational and regulatory watertight information.
I would like to personally congratulate all those involved in achieving this award on such a fantastic accomplishment.’

Since the UK government introduced pension reforms in 2015, there has been a huge increase in pension scams with unscrupulous firms targetting the over-55s with advice regarding what they can do with their retirement savings. Statistics issued by the Pensions Regulator in January, show that, on average, victims of scams lost £91,000 in 2017.
