Lazenby’s Financial Services Ltd, the Leeds-based independent financial adviser firm, is proud to have been named a finalist in two major categories at the highly respected Professional Adviser Awards 2025.

The company is shortlisted for both Paraplanner of the Year, recognising the outstanding work of Rajvinder Bharj, and North East Financial Adviser Firm of the Year, highlighting its continued commitment to excellence, client service, and professional standards.

These nominations come hot on the heels of Lazenby’s recently being named a finalist in the Moneyfacts Awards 2025 for Retirement Adviser of the Year. This series of accolades reflects the firm’s strong track record in delivering high-quality, client-focused financial advice across a broad range of areas.

Alan Lazenby, managing director, said: "To be shortlisted in two categories at the Professional Adviser Awards is an incredible honour and a testament to the hard work, dedication and technical expertise of our entire team.

For Rajvinder to be recognised individually in her role as our paraplanner is truly deserved, and we’re very proud of her. Raj is not only exceptional in her knowledge, but her diligence knows no bounds. All her work is done with pride and as close to perfection as a human can achieve. These achievements reflect our unwavering commitment to supporting clients with clear, trusted and personalised financial advice, especially during times of economic uncertainty."

The Leeds-based firm has developed a five-star reputation for its expertise, and this year launched its Wealth and Wellbeing Networking event with The Village Hotel North Leeds, highlighting the link between health and wealth.
