Prest make New Model Advisor Top 100

The New Model Adviser Top 100 for 2016 – the industry recognised standard for financial advisers – is published this week.

Turnover has increased from £1.9m to £2.3m from 2014 to 2015.

Prest managing director Graham Prest said: “This is a very prestigious honour for us and is the third year in a row that we have been included.

“There are probably only four or five firms from the north west included – the majority are in London and the south of England.

“We are recognised because of our longevity and professionalism – we are highly qualified and very experienced.”

Prest is a wealth management and tax planning firm in Hazel Grove started in 1961 by Graham’s father, Jim.

Graham added: “We deal with high earners and people who have sold businesses.

“They are at the height of their accumulation powers but need advice on how to live the rest of their lives.

“But we are also a family firm and carry those values through to our clients.”
