Newcastle-based wealth management firm Robson Laidler Wealth has appointed Hannah Witty as a chartered financial planner and associate director as it sets to future proof its growth.

Hannah, 42 originally from West Sussex, brings more than 15 years of financial advice experience to the firm and will play a key role in supporting growth while enhancing the service for both new and existing clients across the region.
A Chartered member of the Personal Finance Society, Hannah was previously a financial adviser at Wades Financial Services, recently acquired by Foster Denovo, and began her career at Three Counties, where she gained her professional qualifications.
Directors of RL Wealth Neil and Amanda Cowie, who have known Hannah professionally for many years, are pleased to welcome her into their team. Amanda said: “We are thrilled to have Hannah join us. Her experience, integrity, and client-first mindset make her a natural fit for our business. As we continue to grow, Hannah’s expertise will be invaluable in helping us maintain the high standards of service our clients expect.
“Her values and approach align closely with our firm’s long-standing commitment to providing trusted, personal, financial planning and investment management services.”
Mum-of-three Hannah is passionate about driving change and empowerment of women in the financial services sector with recent industry data from the Financial Conduct Authority showing that only 15 to 17% of financial advisers are female.
Hannah said: “I’m excited to be joining Robson Laidler Wealth at such an important time in its journey. I’ve always admired the firm’s independent, family-led approach and its dedication to putting clients first. I look forward to contributing to the team and supporting clients in achieving their financial goals.
“I’m proud to be stepping into a senior role and helping to model what’s possible for high-performing women in financial services.”
Robson Laidler Wealth has been strengthening its financial planning capabilities over the past 12-months, expanding its team to eight experienced professionals. Last year, the firm also made a senior appointment, welcoming Aaron Hadfield as a chartered financial planner.
In its 20th year, Robson Laidler Wealth has provided independent financial planning and wealth management advice since it was founded in 2005. It has over £220m of assets under management and mainly works with business owners, private clients and family trusts.
