Nicola joined Lansdown Place as Group Compliance Director in October 2006. She has extensive experience in senior Compliance roles  within the industry, as well as running her own successful consultancy.

Lansdown Place is one of the good news stories of the recession. Formed a little over three years ago with a mission to build a new type of Independent and Impartial Advisory Service, the company has expanded to 20 advisers coving the full range of financial disciplines. With its Head Office in the Old City of Bristol but reaching across the South of England, the company continues to expand, with five new advisors joining so far this year. The company has expanded its back office to support the new advisers.

Nicola said “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to lead this growing business. We have exciting plans for the coming years, which will build on our success to date and continue to focus on providing clients with the very best advice. Lansdown Place is committed to achieving Chartered Financial Planning Status, and we have made good progress towards this. I am pleased to confirm that the principles laid down by the founders of independent and impartial advice for all clients remain as relevant and important to the business today”

Chairman, Paul Wilson said ‘On behalf of the founders and directors, we are delighted that Nicola has accepted this role, she is absolutely the right person to expand the services and reach of Lansdown Place as we enter into a new era in the industry.’

Lansdown Place remains committed to attracting and retaining the industry’s best talent at all levels, and is happy to receive approaches from those interested in joining the company.
