“Effimia, Serena, Andrew and Daniel bring exceptional track records in client service and risk-managed returns,” said David Scott, founding partner at Vestra Wealth. “They have earned the trust and respect of their clients and were attracted by our focus on doing what is right for the client at all times.”

The six-year-old firm posted pre-tax profits up at £8.8 million ($14.1 million) from £6.7 million the year before. Meanwhile revenue increased by 24 per cent to £29.2 million, up from £23.4 million.

Salaries were also up, rising 47 per cent year-on-year. The highest yearly salary was £652,419 more than double the highest salary of £260,266 that was paid last year.
