2025 review: A message from Rich Denning

2 min read 5 Dec 25

As we approach the end of the year, it’s natural to pause and reflect on the journey we’ve taken together. For the platform market, 2025 has been a year of continued growth and transformation, shaped by ongoing consolidation within the advice sector and the evolving needs of clients. Throughout these changes, our priority has remained clear: to support you with the tools, flexibility, and confidence needed to deliver the best outcomes for your clients.

Over the past twelve months, we’ve focused on strengthening the foundations of our platform. Behind the scenes, we’ve implemented improvements designed to enhance stability, efficiency, and scalability. These changes may not always be visible day-to-day, but they are critical in ensuring that the platform can continue to meet your needs now and in the future. By investing in this groundwork, we’re building a stronger base from which we can innovate and grow together.

Our commitment also goes beyond technology. We’re proud of the strong sense of community that underpins our business. Across the business, colleagues have come together to support charitable causes and local initiatives. This reflects the same care and integrity that guides our work with advisers. Our spirit of collaboration is what makes me confident about the future, because progress is always stronger when it’s shared.

Looking ahead to 2026, our focus is firmly on innovation and partnership. We’re excited to bring our white label and Model B capabilities to the forefront, giving you more ways to tailor solutions for your clients and differentiate your proposition. At the same time, we’re developing new retirement solutions that we believe will add real value to your conversations and help you meet the diverse needs of clients planning for their future.

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration throughout 2025. Your trust and partnership have been instrumental in shaping the progress we’ve made this year. I’m energised by the opportunities ahead and look forward to making 2026 a defining chapter in our journey.
