Having set up AT8 some five and a half years ago, the directors have enjoyed immensely the activities that we have undertaken since that time. We have been privileged to work on some great projects with great clients, partners and friends.
We are now delighted to announce that the directors of AT8 are moving to form the nucleus of the IRESS Wealth Management business in the UK. IRESS is a company that offers an impressive Practice Management solution to advisers and is one that we have assessed as part of market validation and has impressed many of our clients that have reviewed it in recent times.
Today IRESS has announced its first UK client – Sesame Bankhall Group (SBG). This is a fantastic business opportunity for both IRESS and SBG but needs a local delivery capability. The directors of AT8 have accepted IRESS’ proposal to form IRESS Technology Limited, dedicated to the delivery to SBG and its many and varied member businesses, and expansion of the XPLAN advice platform to the wider financial services market.
More details of IRESS Technology Limited will be provided in the near future but if you should have any questions about the move please feel free to call anyone of us.
We have not taken the decision to move on from AT8 lightly. We are proud of the work we have done as AT8 and the reputation and brand that we have developed. The opportunity that IRESS presents the three of us however is too exciting to turn down. We believe IRESS will raise the bar in Adviser Technology to a new level and with the support of SBG as a first client we are convinced IRESS will have a substantial impact in the UK market.
