David Braithwaite shortlisted for ‘Champion of Advice’ at the 2026 Professional Adviser Awards

We’re delighted to announce that David Braithwaite has been shortlisted for the ‘Champion of Advice Award’ at the 2026 Professional Adviser Awards, taking place in March.

2026 Professional Adviser Awards

This recognition highlights individuals who help drive best practice across the financial planning profession. The category looks for an established practitioner who has:

  • raised awareness of financial advice
  • shared best practice
  • helped clients navigate challenges and opportunities
  • supported higher professional standards across the sector

David would never put himself in the spotlight — he’s not in it for the accolades — but we’re incredibly proud to see his contribution recognised at a national level.

His work with clients, his regular media appearances as the Money Mentor on BBC Radio Kent, and his commitment to clear, honest financial education all played a part in this nomination.

We all have our fingers crossed and are wishing David the very best of luck for March 2026.
