We pay tribute to an individual who worked for many years advising the financial services industry.

Neil Craddock, a familiar face in the wealth management industry and most recently a director at UK-based Investment & Wealth Management Consultants, has died.

He had been a director at IAWMC for more than seven years, working alongside business partner and founder Steve Dyson. Neil Craddock worked in the financial services sector for more than three decades and his time involved wrestling with many of the most challenging issues in the industry.

Previous positions included those of chief operating officer and wealth management practice head at Citisoft, and before that, as a consultant at Schroders, the UK investment house.

“Neil was a dear friend and colleague. We worked together for over 19 years and he was a true professional, highly regarded by clients and peers. His dry humour, wit and insight will be sorely missed in the industry," Steve Dyson told this publication.

WealthBriefing enjoyed sharing views and gaining insights from Neil Craddock over many years and his passing is a great loss to the wealth management sector, as well as a very sad time for his colleagues, family and many friends. We extend our condolences to all who knew him.
