Takes over the reins from the Dubai-based Fund Advisers following a management buyout.
Finsbury Associates becomes the newest name in financial advisory services in the UAE today. Its launch follows a management buyout of the market leading company, Fund Advisers by Danielle Suchley and Doug Tucker.
The official appointment of Suchley as managing director and international sales trainer and self-professed ‘Sales Commando’, Doug Tucker completes an exciting rebranding process for the firm. Along with the move to Finsbury Associates, the revitalised team has also developed a range of new product and service additions. These include the highly-anticipated launch of a dedicated corporate services division.
Ms Suchley said, “It’s an incredibly exciting time for the new business and brand. It’s our intention to build on the amazing success we have experienced in the past two years by offering clients a wider range of products and an even higher level of service, all backed up by a highly qualified and experienced team.”
Mr Tucker said, “My mission is to drive Finsbury Associates forwards. I’m very much a sales commando and with the new products and services launched under the new Finsbury brand, we’re in a better position than ever before to expand our client base and increase our market share. With over 80 members of staff across two locations – Dubai and South Africa- and a 50% growth in business and new clients in the last year alone, we have an ideal foundation to build on.”
The Finsbury Associates product roster encompasses education, retirement, investment, insurance and succession planning. Its services cover every element of financial management, including full insurance solutions, investment advice, tax planning and pension transfers.
Under the umbrella of its new corporate services division Finsbury Associates will offer UAE employers seamless access to tailored advice and analysis across a range of core specialisms. Areas include the creation and management of effective gratuity liability schemes, comprehensive risk management, structured and planned asset management, creation of group savings plans, employee benefit package design and implementation and estate planning.
