Weatherbys’ commitment to putting clients at the heart of everything it does has been recognised at the 2026 Citywealth Brand and Marketing Awards.
Now in their 10th year, the awards celebrate the wealth management and professional services industries’ most impressive efforts to communicate, engage and build trust.
The evolution of Weatherbys’ brand identity earned the Gold Award in the Best Rebranding category, attracting praise for its balance of tradition and new ideas.
The judges particularly highlighted the rebrand’s success in “modernising the presentation of one of Britain’s oldest financial institutions while remaining true to its heritage”.
Also, in a rare move in private banking marketing, Weatherbys clients have started to feature in the bank’s advertising campaigns, helping to bring greater authenticity and credibility to its brand story.
Head of Clients, Oliver Barnett, said: “We’re very proud to win this award, which underlines our determination to put our clients front and centre of everything we do.
“As the judges remarked, we delivered a rebrand that strengthened our market presence while preserving the values that have defined our business for more than 250 years.
“Listening to our clients made this possible. Their feedback was key to making our messaging even more authentic and effective while continuing to reflect ‘the Weatherbys Way’.
“Our ‘people-first’ model has always been rooted in a client-centric approach, and the success of this rebrand shows that ethos is as important today as it has ever been.”
Weatherbys also picked up a Bronze Award in the Best Events Programme of the Year category, with its events described as “memorable and highly engaging”.
Barnett said: “Every year we run a diverse events programme for a wide range of client groups, including entrepreneurs, landed estates, women in finance, the racing community and US citizens.
“We also have our Creating The Future initiative, which aims to address some of the world’s most exciting and challenging issues, as well as a large intermediary programme.
“We’re delighted that the quality of our efforts in this regard has earned such high-profile recognition, and we look forward to staging many more great events in the years to come.”
Addressing the ceremony, which took place on 23 June, Citywealth editor Karen Jones said the award winners had excelled in creativity, storytelling and human relationships.
