They have been featured in the VouchedFor 2026 Top Rated Financial Adviser Guide, which recognises professionals who have consistently delivered excellent client service based on verified client feedback.

The recognition highlights Chester’s reputation for trusted advice in areas such as pensions, investments, tax planning, and retirement.

Harriet Spurrell, Head of Customer Success at VouchedFor, said: “AI is undoubtedly changing how people engage with their finances, but it can’t replace the reassurance, empathy, and personal understanding that a professional adviser brings.

“Financial decisions are deeply human, and clients still want someone they trust by their side.

“What is changing is how that trust is built.

“More consumers are researching advisers online before making contact, which means reputation has never been more important.

“Advisers who are proactive in building and maintaining their presence are best placed to stand out.”

A total of 255 advisers from across the North West were included in the guide, representing nearly one in ten of the UK’s top-rated professionals.

This year’s guide features 2,784 advisers nationwide.

Client feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with 98.9 per cent of reviewers saying they would recommend their adviser.

In addition, 86 per cent said they clearly understood the fees they were paying, while 97 per cent felt they understood the level of risk involved.

The VouchedFor Top Rated Guide aims to help consumers find trusted financial professionals based on independently verified client reviews.
