SUE Blythe, director at Blythe Financial, has been awarded the prestigious title of Chartered Financial Planner, having successfully completed the advanced diploma in financial planning set down by the Chartered Insurance Institute.

This award means that along with her husband Alan Blythe, Blythe Financial now has two out of the only three chartered financial planners on the Isle of Man. Alan Blythe is also a Chartered Associate of the Institute of Financial Services.

He said, “I am so pleased that Sue has achieved this award as it takes us a further step down the road of becoming the island’s most qualified, professional and capable financial advisory team.

“With all of our staff now embarked upon a programme of attaining professional qualifications, I think that we can visibly and demonstrably show that not only can we ‘talk the talk’ like everyone else but we can also ‘walk the walk’.

“These awards cannot be bought or attained merely by joining a club; they take commitment, dedication and hard work and our hope is that our clients and professional partners will see and appreciate the benefit for themselves.”

Sue Blythe added, “I am delighted to have received this award and feel that it clearly demonstrates our commitment to providing the best possible quality advice to our clients and professional partners. I also think that it shows leadership by example to our great team of hard working staff of what being professional means.”
