The Financial Adviser Service Awards recognise the importance of quality service from product providers to their IFA clients and are considered to be the benchmark for service standards within the retail finance marketplace. The ‘Five Star’ award is the most sought-after in the industry.

After a huge response from the financial intermediary community, with over 10,000 IFAs taking part in the voting, we are now able to announce which providers were voted the leaders in their field in 2008.

HBOS scooped the top prize of 'Financial Adviser Company of the Year', and the overall E-commerce award for 2008 went to GAM.
