Old Mill named among FT Adviser’s Top 100 Financial Advisers for third consecutive year

Old Mill has once again been recognised among the UK’s leading financial advice firms, securing 20th place in the FT Adviser Top 100 Financial Advisers rankings for 2026. 

This marks the third consecutive year that Old Mill has featured in the prestigious rankings, highlighting the strength of the wealth management team and its continued commitment to delivering high-quality, personalised advice to clients across the South West. 

Old Mill’s financial planners work with individuals, families and business owners at different stages of their financial journey, providing advice across areas including retirement planning, investments, pensions, protection and inheritance tax and estate planning. 

A key part of this approach is helping clients understand not only their current financial position, but also the potential impact of decisions over time. Through detailed financial planning and cashflow modelling, advisers can explore different scenarios, identify potential risks and opportunities, and help clients make informed choices with greater confidence. 

Whether someone is building wealth, approaching retirement, selling a business or considering how to provide for future generations, the focus is on creating a financial plan that reflects what they want to achieve.

Bringing together expertise across Kinbrook Group


As part of Kinbrook Group, Old Mill combines its established presence and longstanding client relationships with access to a wider range of professional services expertise. 

Financial planners work collaboratively with specialists across tax, accountancy, legal services, corporate finance and business advisory. This joined-up approach is valuable where financial planning forms part of a wider decision, such as succession, retirement or passing wealth to the next generation.  By bringing together these complementary areas of expertise, Old Mill can help clients consider the wider implications of important financial decisions, while continuing to work with advisers who understand their circumstances and long-term objectives.


Recognition of the team's commitment


Duncan Parkes, Head of Wealth Management at Old Mill, said: “To be named among the UK’s Top 100 Financial Advisers for a third consecutive year is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the commitment and expertise of our whole team. 

“Financial planning is about much more than investments or pensions. It starts with understanding what matters to each client whether that is enjoying a comfortable retirement, supporting their family, growing a business or leaving a lasting legacy. 

“Our role is to help people make sense of their options and give them the clarity and confidence to make decisions about their future. 

“Being part of Kinbrook Group adds another important dimension to the advice we can provide. We can bring in colleagues with specialist tax, legal and business expertise where appropriate, helping clients address different aspects of their financial affairs in a coordinated way. 

“We’re incredibly proud of this recognition, but what matters most is the difference we can make to our clients’ lives through thoughtful, long-term financial planning.” 


Looking to the future


Old Mill continues to develop its wealth management offering, investing in its people and strengthening collaboration with specialists across Kinbrook Group to meet the changing needs of its clients. 

The latest FT Adviser recognition reinforces the importance of an approach that combines professional expertise with a genuine understanding of each client’s circumstances, that focuses on providing personalised, long-term financial advice.
