Investment and retirement planning specialists LMS Partners celebrated their first anniversary with a party held at the company’s offices in Athol Street, Douglas.

It was attended by around 60 guests.

The business was launched in April 2017 by three of the Isle of Man’s most experienced and respected professionals in the IFA [Independent Financial Advisers] and banking sectors – Steve Locking, Christina Skelly and Kathy Mitchell.

Speaking at the anniversary party, Steve Locking thanked guests for attending.

He said: ‘Tonight is the ideal opportunity to thank you all personally for your continued loyalty and support.

‘We have had a client relationship with some of you for many years and we really do appreciate your belief and confidence in our new business.

‘We have also engaged a number of new clients over the past 12 months, many of whom have been referred to us by existing clients.’

Steve also recognised the hard work undertaken by all the LMS team, which now sees assets under advice standing at £60 million.

The ethos behind LMS Partners is to focus on clients and their financial circumstances and give them the assurance they deserve when seeking financial advice.

The team at LMS Partners do not have individual sales targets and do not receive sales related bonuses.
