Quilter Financial Planning has appointed a further five appointed representative (AR) firms to its advice network since September.

Earlier this year it added eight new firms to its advice network.

The five new firms added are based in Burgess Hill, Glasgow, Haywards Heath, Clapham, and Wimbledon.

The five new AR firms to have joined Quilter Financial Planning are:

• Narrative, based in Wimbledon, London, led by Claudia Button who was previously with Quilter as both an adviser in its national business and as an adviser with Amicus, but has now launched her own advice firm.

Stephen Fryett, managing director of Quilter Financial Planning, said: “It is great to see such a diverse group of firms choosing to join Quilter Financial Planning. Each brings something different in terms of expertise and ambition, and that richness is exactly what helps our network thrive.

“We are committed to giving them the support and scale they need to grow, and we look forward to seeing the impact they make for clients across the country.”
