The industry recognition follows Johnston Carmichael’s Wealth team’s ongoing adoption of innovative processes for clients, and investment in retention and recruitment of its people.

Johnston Carmichael Wealth employs almost 70 staff, forming financial planning, technical, operations, and client care teams, with 14 offices across the UK as part of Johnston Carmichael, Chartered Accountancy and Business Advisory firm.

The team specialises in providing expert financial planning and advice on personal and business affairs such as investment and retirement planning, estate planning, and personal and business protection.

Over the last year Johnston Carmichael Wealth has welcomed chartered financial planner Martin Hendry to its Glasgow office, boosting its presence in the Central Belt, and recently appointed Duncan Fernie as financial planner. Mr Fernie, who has more than 14 years’ experience in financial services, is based in Dundee.

Craig Hendry, Managing Director of Johnston Carmichael Wealth said “We are extremely proud to have topped the FTAdviser’s list for a second year running.

“It’s testament to the consistent quality of services, and we wish to thank our hard-working and talented people across Johnston Carmichael Wealth for their vital contribution.

“What makes this accolade extra special is that it affirms the success of our operations and not our ability to fill in an awards entry form.

“It is a great boost for our team, our ambitions, and our clients and we hope it will open the door to new opportunities.”
