January was a great month for attendance at Branch Meetings across the UK, with more and more IFP members realising the value of attending sessions. Because Branch Chairmen are Financial Planning practitioners themselves, they organise the sessions and speakers specifically to meet the needs of Financial Planners and Paraplanners so you can be sure they are relevant.



{desktop}{/desktop}{mobile}{/mobile}This year, five IFP branches have new Chairmen – Brian Benson CFP at Birmingham, Ed Green CFP at Bristol, Dr Lien Luu at Northern Home Counties, Keith Churchouse CFP^CM and Simon Hewitt at Surrey and Milton Gordon at Thames Valley. London branch also welcomes a new co-chairman as Abraham Okusanya CFP^CM joins Claire Menni. Wherever you're based, you can attend any branch meeting not just those closest to you. Check out the programme and if you've not made it to a branch meeting yet, add the dates to your diary and make a point of going along to one soon. You'll get a great welcome as well as meeting some great people too.
