Quilter has added Juniper Financial Planning as a new strategic partner in its network.
Ayrshire-based Juniper is formed by a trio of experienced financial planners.
Scott Moore, Euan Brown and Ross Hunter (picture above left to right) set up the firm in Prestwick after a collective 50 years working in firms including Standard Life, Abrdn, Barclays, BDO, and Grant Thornton.
Hunter, the managing director, earlier served as an infantry officer in the British Army.
The trio all previously worked for The Munro Partnership, an IFA business based in Ayr which became part of Abrdn Financial Planning.

Stephen Fryett, managing director of Quilter Financial Planning, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Juniper to our network. The firm’s aspirations closely align with our own, and we look forward to supporting the firm’s growth.
“Ross, Scott and Euan are all experienced financial planners, and we are delighted that they have chosen to partner with Quilter Financial Planning to realise their ambitions.”
Hunter added: “We all have experience working for both large corporate firms and smaller boutique companies and we have designed Juniper to combine the best of both worlds for our clients and we believe the Quilter proposition best helps us achieve this.
“We have set up our office back in Ayrshire, which will remain our base but will retain our national reach in order to service our clients across the UK.”
