Anthony Villis – On innovation within financial services and why he’s not afraid to put himself out there on social media.
Today we meet with Anthony Villis of First Wealth Financial Planning.
We met with Anthony at his Marylebone offices where the vibe was relaxed an positive and where the conversation quickly turned to how he and his growing team are working to provide better financial education to the under 35’s and how much he believes in authenticity online.
This is a great example of how some of the smaller firms are so incredibly dedicated both to their clients and their profession and demonstrates the need for peers to look at how they recruit into their business and also how their brand is perceived.
