This therefore continues to showcase our focus on providing the best quality advice with a service culture that is second to none."

The enthusiasm and attentiveness of the delegates was a testimony to their professionalism and commitment. The event was superbly organised and gave each of the sponsors sufficient time to present to the delegates, but also a great deal of opportunity to meet and talk during the breaks and evening events. Hats off to Mike Coady, Doug Tucker and Felicity Rice for organising a stimulating and valuable 3 days, I am sure all of the delegates will go back to work more knowledgeable, more motivated and more inspired."
Soverign Business Development Manager, Richard Chandler, commented, "Attending the deVere Adviser Conference was a highly informative and beneficial experience for all present. Sovereign makes great efforts to ensure that the quality, thoroughness, and security of the pension products we supply is second to none and to have that supported by deVere Group at all levels demonstrates their understanding and desire to meet their clients' needs. The event was organised superbly and the range of speakers and quality of information exchanged is testament to the emphasis the Firm has on the professionalism of their Advisers."
