Marketing boss Wayne said: "Having worked together as a management and consultancy team for a number of years, we decided to pool our considerable experience and professionalism.
"Our main objective is to capitalise on the media-driven growing financial awareness of clients, and also the government's emphasis on the need for more pro-active personal financial planning.
"Our ambitions are to quickly establish ourselves within the local business community and to develop our brand awareness."
