Award winning international financial advice


By Rebecca Steele - December 21, 2014

A roundup of our international financial advice accolades in 2014

December is a great time to reflect, and what better way to end the year than on a high – summarising the recognition we have received over the last 12 months from our peers in international financial services.

In the last five years alone, AES International has been awarded in excess of 25 financial accolades, and this recognition shows no signs of slowing down.

International Financial Advice: Award Winning

Below is a summary of our achievements in 2014, which we believe is a testament to the advice we give and the service we offer our private clients.

APRIL

Best Support Service: Finalist

money-marketing-awards-logoThese awards celebrated their 24th year in 2014, and have now firmly been established as the primary event in the financial services calendar. The award for ‘Best Support Service’ is keenly contested and those shortlisted had all demonstrated an excellent track record in offering support service solutions to independent financial advisers. Marking a promising start to the year for us, 2014 was AES International’s sixth consecutive recommendation for the awards, walking away as finalists in two categories in 2013.

John Viney, AES International’s Chief Operating Officer, said “We are immensely proud to be recommended for the finals of this highly prestigious award. AES are the only international firm to become finalist in the Best Support Provider category, and it’s a testament to the energy of our partners, who constantly strive to find new and innovative solutions, and to create better outcomes for both AES clients and AES advisers throughout the world”.

The list has been described by The Telegraph as shining examples of great British SME's.
