Schroders UK Platform Awards
Gala Dinner - 25 September 2018
Twelve years of platform awards
A record 545 people from platforms, asset managers, advisers and technology businesses attended the 2018 Schroders UK Platform Awards dinner – the 12th running of the biggest event in the investment platform and technology calendar.
The amazing turn out goes to show how vibrant this sector is today. So who were the big winners?
Nucleus demonstrated amazing consistency by picking up the big gong, Platform of the Year, for the third year running - a reward for caring about both their advisers and their end customers passionately. 7IM continue to be a serial winner, on this occasion collecting the retirement and discretionary management platform awards. The Benchmark Capital group is another repeat winner. The SEI powered Fusion Wealth platform won the wealth management award and Aspect8, the IFA in the Benchmark Capital stable, won leading adviser business yet again. Undoubtedly, the most popular winner of the night was the husband and wife team of Thomas and Thomas, Darren and Lisa, who won the leading adviser practice award - a firm that truly love their customers and their people. Their obvious joy was shared by everyone in the Hilton’s ballroom.
The other star of the night was our host of nine years, Kate Silverton, who broke her Strictly Come Dancing training regime to come and host the awards - the only corporate event she has taken on since becoming, as she describes herself ‘a trainee dancer’. Kate’s journey home was delayed as countless guests asked for selfies and wanted to chat. Bless her, she made time for everyone.
