Nottingham-based IFA practice, George Square Financial Management, has added a new adviser to its team in the city.

Simon Hill has joined George Square from Succession Group.

Managing Director George Goward said: “Greater pension freedoms that were introduced in April 2015 have led more people to seek professional, independent financial advice about how best to plan for their retirement and the future.

“Our specialist expertise in pension planning advice has allowed us to significantly grow this complex area of work and I am delighted that we have been able to recruit Simon to our talented team of advisers to enable this growth to continue.”

Hill said: “I am thrilled to have joined George Square Financial Management at such an exciting time and am looking forward to being part of the team as it continues to grow.

“The firm’s friendly, yet professional approach to the provision of independent financial advice is what attracted me to George Square and I am keen to start working with its valued clients and furthering my career as an IFA.”
