Founded by partners Michael Bennison and Andrew Brown in 2016, Bennison Brown is a broker firm based in London and employs 10 advisers.

The firm says its decision to enter a renewed, long-term agreement with Stonebridge reflects a strong alignment in culture and ambition, as well as the support it provides ARs to scale their business.

Stonebridge currently works nationwide with more than 1,300 advisers.

Bennison managing director Michael Bennison says: “Stonebridge has been a fantastic partner for nearly a decade and therefore our decision to renew was an easy one.”

“When looking for a network back in 2016, we needed someone that was not just strong on compliance but also had the tools, experience, and support to help us grow as a business, while continuing to match our ambition. In that sense, Stonebridge remains the perfect home for us.”

Stonebridge chief executive Rob Clifford adds: “Michael and Andrew have built a well-earned reputation for professionalism, ambition and outstanding customer care. It has been our absolute pleasure to support them on their journey.”

“We’re therefore thrilled to be continuing on that journey with the team at Bennison Brown under this new long-term agreement as we continue to invest in our infrastructure, technology, and service for the benefit of all our members.”
