Chartered Financial Planner Status

In 2007, Lowes became one of the first firms in the country to achieve the accreditation “Chartered Financial Planners”, an achievement which we are justly proud of.

The Chartered Financial Planners status is considered to be the ‘gold standard’, held only by firms which demonstrate their professional commitment to raising standards of knowledge, capability and ethical practice. Over the years we have constantly continued to ensure colleagues acquire and retain the necessary knowledge and skills to deliver the highest quality service and advice.

Most recently and in addition to our Chartered Status, Lowes has become an “Associate” firm which demonstrates the adoption of professional standards set by the Personal Finance Society enabling us to stand tall behind a culture that places clients and staff at its heart.
