Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA) has continued to strengthen its position in the mortgage and financial advice market with the addition of seven new adviser firms during the first quarter of 2025.
The new firms joined between January and March, bringing with them experience across a range of specialisms including mortgage advice, pensions, protection and broader financial planning.
The latest additions to the network include Alistair Briggs of Briggs Financial Advice, Mike Carter of Contractor Financial, Jude Dawute of Benjamin House, Bob Ferris of Rosemount Mortgage Planning, Joe Iannelli of Oakhill Wealth & Pensions, Ben Mulroney of Williamson & Croft Wealth Management, and Katherine Webster of Paragon Financial Solutions.
Their arrival bolsters Rosemount’s capabilities at a time when the business is enjoying rapid growth. Recent analysis from Network Consulting found that the firm recorded the second highest percentage growth in adviser numbers of any network in the first quarter of the year.
Commenting on his early experience of joining the network, Jude Dawute, managing director of Benjamin House, said: “My first few months at Rosemount have been really positive. The team has been incredibly supportive, and their collaborative approach has made it easy to integrate with providers and get business flowing. Thanks to Rosemount, Benjamin House has hit the ground running.”
Rosemount’s growth has been underpinned by a commitment to preserving independence and putting advisers’ needs first. The network is not vertically integrated and does not apply loaded premiums, a stance that has helped attract a growing number of firms seeking autonomy alongside strong operational support.
Ahmed Bawa, chief executive of Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA), said: “We’re delighted to welcome our raft of new advisers. Each of these embodies the client-first ethos that sits at the heart of our network. At Rosemount, we are proud to offer a genuinely supportive and flexible environment that allows advisers to grow their businesses on their own terms, backed by outstanding compliance, marketing, and operational support.
“Advisers choose Rosemount because we combine the independence they value with the infrastructure they need to thrive, such as through readily-available support, first-class training, or access to an exceptional panel of lenders and providers.”
Alongside its success in attracting new members, Rosemount has also focused on developing its existing team. A round of senior promotions announced last month saw Zac Bawa step up to sales director and Jacob Bawa appointed operations director. Anne Sykes has moved into the role of strategic adviser manager, while Callum Wilkinson has taken on the post of strategic relationship manager.
The business has seen revenues rise 38% year-on-year during the first three months of 2025, building on a record-breaking 2024, in which income climbed by 25% compared with the previous year.
