Private Client Innovation of the Year
Ceri Griffiths
Willow Brook Lifestyle Financial Planning
Spear’s Awards 2023 winner: Ceri Griffiths, winner of Private Client Innovation of the Year, founded Willow Brook Lifestyle Financial Planning to support women involved in big-money divorces
When Ceri Griffiths founded Willow Brook Lifestyle Financial Planning in 2019, her mission was simple: to provide women with expert advice to assist them in taking ownership of their financial affairs. The business was born when Griffiths, while observing a business meeting between a wealth adviser and a female client, realised that the industry had failed in catering to the full spectrum of women’s particular financial requirements.

DDRE Global founder Daniel Daggers has been busy since he left Knight Frank amid something of a media storm towards the end of 2019. He and his talented team of young, hungry property entrepreneurs have a compelling vision for the future of prime real estate.
Inspired by the collaboration and technology-driven transparency of the US market, Daggers not only expects a major change to materialise across the rest of the industry, but is determined to drive it himself, with a new and hugely innovative platform.
