Investing in the talent of the
future is a passion at Murphy Wealth, the lifestyle financial
planners. The current 14 strong Glasgow based team features seven
graduates, recruited from Glasgow Caledonian and Strathclyde
universities, over the past 3 years.
The firm's CEO Adrian Murphy
explains, "The average age of a financial adviser today is 52 and a
shortage of advisers is predicted by 2030. It's not common for many
of us to go through education thinking 'I want to be a financial
adviser' and so the challenge for the whole profession is to inform
more young people about the industry, provide practical experience
and offer exciting, attractive career options".

Cassidy, Sophie Tinney, Ciaran Stark, Ceara McGrory and Alana
Quinn.
Among the latest success
stories, Client Manager Alana was named 'New Paraplanner of the
Year' at the 2019 Professional Paraplanner Awards in London.
As the shortage of talent
across financial planning becomes an increasingly visible
challenge, Murphy Wealth is keen to continue developing the next
generation of advisers. Those looking for opportunities in 2020,
should get in touch or
look out on the website.
