Nelsons—Fabian Taylor

Firm celebrates financial planner’s qualification

East Midlands firm Nelsons Solicitors has announced the qualification of Fabian Taylor as a chartered financial planner.

Based in the Nottingham office, Fabian joined the firm in 2015 and sits as part of its investment management team. Over the past five years, he has been working towards the Chartered Insurance Institute’s Advanced Diploma in Financial Planning (CII APFS).

Fabian said: ‘Becoming a chartered financial planner is something I am extremely proud of and I am very grateful for the support I have received from Nelsons. Studying towards a qualification like the CII APFS while working full time is very challenging but my team has provided guidance, advice and the space for me to learn throughout the whole process.

Partner and head of the investment management team John Stanley added: ‘Fabian has done exceptionally well to achieve this qualification and worked very hard to secure chartered status at such an early stage in his career. This qualification benefits everyone and reflects Nelsons’ commitment to supporting its employees, which in turn provides even more expert advice and knowledge to our clients.’
