Vanguard is delighted to announce it will sponsor the prestigious UK Platform Awards for at least the next three years. The awards celebrate the very best of platforms and technology in retail investment and financial planning. Now in its 20th year, the ceremony is a highlight of the financial events calendar, and a celebration of the very the best in the industry.
Gillian Hepburn, head of adviser solutions and sales, Vanguard, commented:
“Our sponsorship reflects the importance of platforms and associated service providers in supporting the UK adviser market. As a significant provider of funds and model portfolios to advisers and their clients through platforms, Vanguard is delighted to help recognise the extraordinary development of, and innovation within, this sector.”
The Platform Awards are recognised for their robust and professional judging process which looks at innovation, service quality across platforms, technology providers, advisers and related services in the UK investment and wealth management sector.
The Vanguard 2026 Platform Awards take place on 22 September 2026, at the London Hilton on Park Lane. Kate Silverton, the acclaimed broadcaster and child therapist, returns to host the event.
