Independent financial advice firm AWD Chase de Vere has been re-named as Chase de Vere as part of a large re-branding exercise.

Stephen Kavanagh (pictured), chief executive of Chase de Vere, said: “We have made huge progress in the past four or five years, transforming our organisation into a high-quality, client-focused and profitable business.

“This re-brand marks the next chapter in our development as we look to grow our business further while remaining independent and still putting the best interests of our clients first.

“We believe that clients’ interests are most effectively served with a truly independent approach and that the gold standard for financial advice is highly qualified advisers, supported by a strong technical infrastructure, delivering independent financial advice.”
