Meet The Network
New Leaf is around 25 years old, but a lot of people have only recently heard of us. We often come across as a new network because of that, but in fact we’re one of the oldest.
We’re a family business and privately-owned, with no major shareholders or institutional investors. It’s very much family-led and flexible. We can do things when we want to, we can try things out, and offer lots of different permissions to advisors that they may not get elsewhere. That’s always worked really well for us.
We’re ‘the network that knows your name.’ Part of our culture is to really get to know people who work with us and make sure they feel valued.
