Leading Midlands-based pensions and wealth management provider, Mattioli Woods plc, has been revealed as the top financial advice firm in the East Midlands by national publication, Professional Adviser magazine. The annual review is dedicated to actively highlighting the best-performing financial groups in each of the UK's regions. 

In the last twenty years, Mattioli Woods has grown dynamically year-on-year, and became a public company following its listing on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in November 2005. Founded on a strong culture of client care, the core services are targeted towards controlling directors, professional persons, owner-managed businesses and small-to-medium sized PLCs. The company now advises over 4,000 clients throughout the UK, with funds under advice and administration in excess of £2.8 billion. 

Chief Executive, Ian Mattioli, commented; "The financial markets have changed considerably over the past few years with in effect the continuing collapse of the banks and other older financial institutions.  

This will give us the ability to take a lead and enable us to deliver real advice to clients".

"Our move into personal wealth management will enable us to offer increased services to more clients, many of whom have become so unhappy with the poor advice that they have received from others".

In addition to this best-performance ranking, the company has also been recently recognised nationally by the Telegraph as one of the top 1,000 Britain's brightest businesses, which are set to be the foundation of the UK's recovery.
