Besides a graduate scheme, Lucy Whitehead, chief client officer at Kingswood, suggests developing internal talent. “It provides motivating career paths and key learning, which is incredibly important to both attract and retain colleagues.
“At Kingswood, we are looking towards those individuals across a range of roles in house who are interested in progressing through their exams and this can be from a number of roles, from paraplanning to administration teams.
“This means that once the individual becomes an adviser, they have a solid understanding of the business and the pressure points in the different roles, and this will make them a better, well-rounded adviser.”
