Laver celebrates being 21 with key to unlock growth

Laver Financial is celebrating its 21st year with plans to grow its business across Britain – and a new website (www.laverfinancial.co.uk). The company, which manages and protects the wealth of private individuals, companies and partnerships, was founded by Derrick Laver in 1991. It one of only a small number of IFAs anywhere in the country to have won discretionary investment permission from the Financial Services Authority (FSA). This was granted in May 2008 and the firm, based in Weston-super-Mare, now manages £25m of clients’ money on a discretionary basis. 

Laver uses its own 'Apex' and 'Reflex' investment management services to handle investments and navigate funds daily, basing decisions on its understanding of each client's lifestyles and objectives – and their attitude to risk. 

“We have always worked hard at being attentive, responsive and personal,” said Derrick.  “It’s a philosophy which has worked well for us and while we have helped our clients shape their futures, they in turn have shaped our business, helping us grow by recommendation. In a changing and increasingly challenging financial landscape and with much less advice now available through banks at a local level, clients need an investment management company which is diligent and caring . . .  and wholly independent.
 
“Now we are ready to take the business to the next stage  . . . continuing to develop our innovative approach to financial planning and expanding our client bases through professional connections.”
