This prestigious award is much sought after by product providers, not least it is voted for by the UK’s leading professional, independent financial advisers.
“To achieve five stars – which is the highest available - is a ringing endorsement of our service from the professionals who deal with us day-to-day,” said Chief Executive, Steve Groves.
“2010 has been an extremely positive year for Partnership in terms of recognition and awards,” he added.

“The icing on the cake is this latest, five star award, which I believe provides overall recognition of the outstanding work Partnership has delivered in 2010.
“Service has been key to our proposition, and is undoubtedly a driving force behind our success,” added Groves.
“At the beginning of the year we told advisers that we would provide a level of personal service that would be second to none: this we have achieved, and our efforts have been rewarded at the highest level,” he said.
“We look forward to 2011 being another successful year for the company, both in terms of business growth and the recognition we are increasingly gaining from the industries we service.”
