International advisory firm AHR Group has become the first firm in the Middle East and Central South Asia regions to earn top honours with international professional partner firm recognition from the CII.
IPPFs are corporate organisations who have committed to fully support their employees in their attainment of high level industry qualifications and their ongoing continued professional development, and who uphold the CII's values and ethics.
William Burrows, co-founder and AHR Group managing director, stated: “As an organisation, we encourage all employees in pursuing their further educational needs to advance their career, as well as increase their knowledge and professional development in order to strengthen our own commitment to transparency, proven expertise, and market-leading standards from highly experienced and qualified individuals.”
The firm offers a range of benefits for employees studying for professional qualifications, such as study time, financial exam support, and additional training sessions and workshops.
Tyla Phillips, group executive director of AHR added: “This achievement underscores our commitment to nurturing talent and fostering a culture of excellence.
"We are dedicated to empowering our employees through professional development, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide exceptional service to our clients around the globe.”
All client facing board members at AHR are qualified chartered planners and also have an additional 25 chartered status advisers registered across the CII and other recognised educational institutions.
Regional director of the CII, Middle East & Central & Southern Asia, Gaenor Jones, said “We are very pleased to recognise the company’s keen efforts and investment in their employees’ career development through the attainment of CII qualifications.
“The IPPF initiative is a great endorsement for companies who make this dedicated endeavour which assists in boosting professional standards across the region’s financial planning and insurance sectors.”
