George, Home-based Financial Adviser
"I joined Skipton Financial Services (SFS) back in May 2009 after working previously for banks and insurance companies. From my very first day I have felt valued as an employee and felt part of an overall team. I enjoy working for SFS due to the friendliness of my colleagues and the sheer determination of management to ensure the client is always put first. The ethos of the company is similar to mine and I believe we are looking after our clients, which gives me personal satisfaction."
Lorna, Branch-based Financial Adviser
"I joined SFS eight years ago. I feel SFS as a company strives to provide outstanding training and back office function to ensure our role is made as easy as possible. When I first joined SFS we had only 40 advisers servicing clients of Skipton Building Society. We now currently have over 120 advisers and I am pleased to say that the ’family’ atmosphere has still remained. There wouldn’t be many of my work colleagues I wouldn’t now call friends."
George, Branch-based Financial Adviser
"I have worked for SFS for 18 months and compared to my previous employers I feel we are much more focussed on doing the right thing for the customer. As a company we provide a high standard of financial advice and an excellent service proposition to our customers via Monitored Informed Investing (MII). Since working for SFS a lot of things have changed which is what I expected as SFS is a company that is growing rapidly."
Angela, Home-based Financial Adviser
"I have worked for the Skipton group for the past 25 years, 14 of those have been for SFS. Since working for SFS the company has continued to grow, which I personally feel is down to the forward thinking of senior management and the constant drive from all members of staff. SFS continues to welcome change and strives to promote a culture of openness, fairness and an interest in all employees."
Adam, Regional Manager
"I started my career with the Skipton Group over 10 years ago and have worked for SFS for the last eight. My first role for SFS was working as an administrator in the Business Support department. Since that day, SFS has shown me an enormous amount of support in every possible way and I have consequently progressed through the company to my current role, which is working as a Regional Manager for the central region. If people have aspirations of progressing in their career, SFS will ensure they receive the opportunities to reach their personal goals and objectives. Without the development and opportunities offered to me I would not be where I am today."
Carl, Training & Development Supervisor
"I joined SFS two years ago after working for a number of banks in their financial services divisions. SFS promotes a professional image and respects, listens and acts on not only client feedback but also staff feedback. Compared to my previous employers, SFS is a great environment to work in and has a great culture."
