MBF are working with an established, independently owned Wealth Management business in Meriden to recruit an experienced Administrator.
This is an opportunity to join a boutique firm with a history spanning more than five decades, combining personalised Financial Planning with its own Investment Management expertise.
The company
The business works with High Net Worth individuals, families, business owners, trusts and charities. Its focus is on building lasting relationships, with many clients supported over decades and across generations.
The culture is collaborative, with Financial Planners, Investment Managers, Paraplanners and Administrators working together to deliver a high standard of service. The firm’s approach places considerable importance on shared responsibility and doing what is right for clients.
For an experienced Administrator, this offers a varied role within a knowledgeable team, exposure to an interesting client base and the opportunity to make a valued contribution to the wider business.

The firm is particularly interested in people who enjoy administration and client support and want to continue building their expertise within this area.
Professional qualifications are welcomed but are not essential. Training will be provided to address gaps in product or provider knowledge, and study and financial support are available for relevant exams where there is a business need.
