Egham Company Celebrates 45 Years At The Top

Independent Financial Advisers

In today's fast-moving business world, it is increasingly rare to find a company with a history that goes back almost half a century. One such business, however, is financial planning specialist Regency Investment Services, which is celebrating its 45th birthday this month.

Regency was set up in 1965 by three entrepreneurs - Herbert Baker, John Holloway and Ian Grant - and since that time it has grown and evolved into a high-calibre company at the forefront of the financial services sector.

Today, it is Herbert Baker's grand-daughter Dominique Vinecombe who is heading up the company, which has been based at its head office on the High Street in Egham for the past 25 years. Regency's focus has always been the provision of unrivalled customer service, and it has grown and developed because of referrals from existing, satisfied customers. In 2011 it is aiming to become one of the first companies in the region to become a fully chartered practice, which will put it on a par with other professionals such as solicitors and accountants.

Dominique, and her highly qualified team, take a holistic and wide-ranging approach providing both individual and business clients with independent financial planning advice. They specialise in wealth management and pre- and post-retirement planning, but also offer expert financial advice on issues such as long term care, taxation and investments.

Regency has also taken its position in the community very seriously, and has been a valued member of the business sector employing many local people. It has also been a regular supporter of local causes and, most recently, has raised money for the Woking Hospice. To commemorate and celebrate its 45-year milestone, the staff at Regency decided to further assist the Hospice by donating funds so that a vital piece of equipment that has recently been broken could be quickly replaced.

"To be the third generation of my family working in the business is particularly pleasing for my father, John Holloway, who set up the company with my grand-father Herbert Baker," says Dominique. "Regency is very proud to be celebrating such a long and successful time in business, and we are very much looking forward to attaining the very highest professional qualification of chartered status, which will allow us to offer an even more bespoke service to existing and future clients".

"We can also think of no better way of marking both events than by helping another highly-valued, local organisation. The Woking Hospice has recently supported the family of one of our employees, so we have first-hand knowledge of the vital role it plays. We therefore hope that our contribution will help the Hospice to continue its outstanding work."

Regency Investment Services is based in Egham in Surrey. For further information call 01784 437611
