London Thursday 29th March 2018
Lifetime Achievement Award Presented to Xavier Rolet
At the annual City of London Wealth Management Awards presentation held at the Guildhall, Brian Winterflood MBE presented Xavier Rolet KBE with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Mr Winterflood said
“I am very honored to be awarding this much deserved but mis-named award to Xavier Rolet as I am sure this man has a lot left in him and I doubt if he will be sitting on his derriere for long”. He added that under Mr Rolet’s stewardship he has “kept the City of London, and more especially the London Stock Exchange, as the leading financial capital of the world”.
St James’s Place was named as the Wealth Manager of the Year and regional winners included Facet, Speirs and Jeffrey, Hargreaves Lansdown, Redmayne Bentley and EFG Harris Allday. The Awards were announced by Lisa Snowdon, Angela Knight CBE and Sumit Bose.
Stephen Pinner, MD Goodacre UK, the company responsible for the Awards, said
“These Awards are unique as they recognise quality of service as seen by the investors themselves who cast votes online. At a time when the wealth management industry has been under such
pressure to meet demands of new regulations it is re-assuring that many regulated firms are maintaining high standards”.
Guests at the presentation also donated to the Coppafeel charity, nominated by Lisa Snowdon.
