Nantwich firm Applewood Independent has appointed Alex Pritchard as joint managing director.<\/p>\n
The company was set up by David Pritchard and his wife Kay in 1998 to offer independent financial advice about investments, pensions and inheritance tax.<\/p>\n
It is now one of the longest-established, family-managed practices in the north west and currently has \u00a3210 million under management.<\/p>\n
Alex, the couple’s son, joined the firm in 2003 and is a fully qualified financial adviser.<\/p>\n
In his spare time, Alex is a competitive karting enthusiast who has won many awards.<\/p>\n
In 2018, he was crowned the Daytona DMAX Heavy Heats Karting Champion.<\/p>\n
Most recently he captained a five-man team, sponsored by Applewood, in the Daytona DMAX International 24-hour race. <\/p>\n
Alex and his teammates saw off 47 European teams to claim victory by a decisive six laps.<\/p>\n
As joint managing director, Alex will focus on growing the business while David will continue to look after his loyal client base.<\/p>\n
Alex said: “My parents have always hoped that I’d carry on the family business.<\/p>\n
“Although they are still very much actively involved, I’ve been playing a more significant role in decisions about our future direction and strategy.”<\/p>\n
David Pritchard said: “We are always giving advice to people about planning for the future so it’s only right that we practice what we preach!<\/p>\n
“Alex is clearly ready to step-up and take on more responsibility for the future of our practice.<\/p>\n
“Exemplary advice and service have always been the cornerstones of our longevity and success.<\/p>\n
“They are qualities ingrained in Alex so Kay and I are very confident he will steer the business successfully into the future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
