Absolute Financial Group has announced the addition of three new independent financial adviser (IFA) firms to the group.

The latest additions include Hereford-based Padstone Financial Management, Surrey-based Campton Financial Services, and Norwich-based Iceni Financial Advisers

Absolute confirmed that the trio have added a further £255m to the group’s assets under advice (AUA), taking its total AUA to £1.55bn.

All the existing offices and colleagues from the three firms will now operate as part of Absolute, giving the organisation an expanded footprint across the east, south and west of England.

CEO of Absolute Financial Group, David Carter, commented: “Welcoming Padstone Financial Management, Campton Financial Services, and Iceni Financial Advisers into Absolute marks another milestone as we continue to build a leading independent financial planning business.

“Each of these firms brings exceptional people, strong client relationships, and a commitment to high quality advice that aligns perfectly with our values and culture.

“We have a strong pipeline of like minded IFA firms that we expect to complete over the coming weeks in order to continue to grow and realise our ambitions.”

Padstone Financial Management director, Mark Young, added: “After many years of searching for a business that could allow us to continue offering genuinely independent advice, we discovered the team at Absolute who clearly held the same values as we did.

“We pride ourselves on providing positive outcomes and performance for clients and as such, we are pleased to be joining Absolute, which will allow us to continue this and develop our business.”
