Ed Dymott, managing director wealth at Benchmark, said: “There’s a lot of options in the market for firm principles to look for succession planning, so we’re pleased that Champain have chosen Benchmark as a stable and secure partner for their staff and their clients.
“Having already worked with Mike and his team for several years, there’s a strong alignment of values, and the transition will be smooth as our technology is already embedded in the business.”
Mike Champain, managing director at Champain Financial Services, added: “Our top priority was to ensure that our clients continue to receive the high level of personal care they have come to expect. In Benchmark, we knew we had a partner who not only understands this priority but also places it at the heart of their service.
“They’ve been around for over 30 years, and with 200 years of Schroders history behind them it gives me confidence that they’ll continue to look after our clients, and their families, for years to come.”
