Held at the Nobu Hotel in London and hosted by the Rt. Hon Lord Brady of Altrincham, the awards are judged by an international panel of highly respected wealth managers and advisers. Judges look for clear evidence of business growth and leadership over the past year, alongside a strong narrative of progression and what has made that period stand out. Submissions are supported by case studies and measurable outcomes, and assessed against defined criteria including client feedback and innovation.

Ollie Barnett, Head of Private Clients, commented: “This is a good reflection of how we run the business. We focus on looking after our clients properly, building long-term relationships and being there when it matters. It’s also a credit to the team and what they do day in, day out is what really makes the difference.”

This recognition comes at the end of a year in which the business has continued to perform strongly, as seen in our latest annual results. Just as importantly, it is clear in the feedback we receive from our clients. Our Net Promoter Score increased to 84 over the year, placing us among the highest in the industry and providing clear, independent evidence of our commitment to exceptional client service.

At Weatherbys, we have always believed that long-term success follows from doing the right thing for our clients, consistently and without compromise. This award reflects that approach, and the people across the business who bring it to life every day.

Over the past 12 months, Weatherbys has also been widely recognised across the industry for both individual excellence and the strength of the wider business. This includes senior leaders and rising talent receiving leading honours from Citywealth, alongside multiple private bankers being named in the Spear’s 500 and Top 25 Banker lists. Weatherbys has also been recognised at an institutional level for investment performance and transparency, while our Head of Financial Planning has been acknowledged for professional excellence.

Weatherbys Private Bank was also named Private Bank of the Year at the prestigious Spear’s Awards in 2021, 2023 and 2024.
