Lighthouse Group wins FT Business Large IFA of the Year Award for the third year running

Lighthouse Group is delighted to announce that, at yesterday's annual Financial Adviser Life and Pensions Awards luncheon hosted by FT Business, the Group won the Large IFA of the Year Award 2012. This builds on the Group's success having won the same award in both 2010 and 2011.

The Large IFA of the Year Award 2012 was based on a detailed technical submission which was assessed by an independent panel of judges. The citation referred to the continuing high degree of professionalism evidenced in the advice to clients and the leading role Lighthouse was playing in managing change and developing new markets. For the first time this year the judges made a highly commended award for second place which went to Hargreaves Lansdown.

Malcolm Streatfield, CEO of Lighthouse Group, commented: "We are delighted to have received this prestigious award, which is sponsored by FT Business, for the third year running. This is a testament to the ongoing hard work undertaken by the Lighthouse team throughout the year. Given the constantly changing regulatory landscape of our industry we are delighted to have once again achieved this recognition."
