Expanding Plymouth-based Financial Planner Continuum has recruited three new advisers, including two Financial Planners.

The firm says the additions push its number of advisers up to 57 – a 14% increase since the start of the year.

The firm has seen steady growth in assets and revenue with assets under influence up 40% year on year to £1.45bn and quarterly income up 37% year on year to £2.76m.

Lisa Anderson, a Chartered Financial Planner and CFP professional, joins the firm from Tilney to add to Continuum’s presence in Somerset. She has 17 years of experience in financial services, mostly in her native Somerset.

Chartered Financial Planner Steven Chisholm joins Continuum in Northamptonshire from Quilter Financial Planning to expand the firm’s presence in the East Midlands. Mr Chisholm has been an IFA since 1991, including 12 years with Towry Law.

Ryan Bunyan joins the firm from Edinburgh-based Spence & Spence and expands Continuum’s footprint in Scotland. He is currently working towards his Chartered Financial Planning qualification.

Martin Brown, managing partner at Continuum, said the addition of the three new advisers allows the firm to strengthen its position in South West and the East Midlands while also expanding footprint in Scotland.

Continuum expects turnover for the full year to hit £10.3m by the year end, up from the £10.2m forecast at the end of the first half of the year (2020: £7.51m).

New business grew 54% for the year to date, with a 64% increase in new business received via professional partnerships.

The firm says its current average rolling adviser productivity is considerably above average at £186,641 for the third quarter of the year.
