About us

Our promise to you

At WPS Advisory, people come first — not products, not processes.
We take the time to listen, guide, and support you with advice that’s personal, accessible, and easy to understand. Because financial confidence isn’t just about numbers — it’s about knowing someone’s by your side, every step of the way.

We put people first

At the heart of everything we do is you.
We take the time to listen, understand, and guide you through choices that shape a future you can genuinely look forward to.

Real connection, real support

Real conversations matter to us — whether it’s over the phone, face-to-face, or online, we’re here to build connections that help you feel secure and supported every step of the way.

Clear advice for everyone

As independent advisers, we believe financial advice should be accessible, affordable, and easy to understand. No jargon, no complicated language — just clear, honest advice that helps you make confident decisions about your future.

Our impact on the community

We believe in making a real difference, not just with finances, but in our communities too! We care about supporting important causes and building a better future through our commitment to fairness, inclusion, and looking after our planet.

Our pledge for good

We take our role seriously in promoting a more inclusive and sustainable future. We’re committed to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in every part of our work, ensuring that everyone has equal access to the opportunities and support they need. We also prioritise Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability, always making decisions that benefit both the people we serve and the world we live in.
