MAC Financial is proud to announce that George Richardson, Paraplanning Team Leader, has achieved Chartered Financial Planner status – one of the most prestigious and respected designations in the financial services industry.
George earned this distinction by completing the RQF Level 6 Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning – a qualification designed to develop specialist planning expertise and a comprehensive approach to financial management. This advanced diploma builds on the knowledge gained through the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning.
Chartered status, awarded by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), recognises professionals who demonstrate exceptional technical knowledge, ethical practice, and a commitment to ongoing professional development. George’s achievement follows his recognition as ‘Young Achiever of the Year’ at the 2024 CII annual dinner.
