Fellowship of the PFS is the most prestigious qualification awarded to those working in the industry and is an accolade that recognises the dedication to work, self-improvement and ability.

It shows commitment to further self-improvement and is awarded to individuals who consistently demonstrate high levels of ability, skills and knowledge.

To achieve the award, Alison has studied over the past 20 years after entering full-time employment straight from school.

After gaining chartered status in October 2016, Alison spent three months dedicated to attaining Fellowship status.

Ms Wishart said: “I am thrilled to have been awarded the PFS Fellowship. It is recognition of a great deal of hard work which is driven by the desire to provide AAB Wealth’s clients with the best possible service. I plan to continue building my skills and industry knowledge.”

Fraser Porter, CEO of AAB Wealth, added: “We are delighted to see Alison’s studies culminate in her achieving her Fellowship. It is testament to her focus on not only providing excellent service to our clients but also to her ongoing personal and professional development.”
