Walker Crips chairman David Gelber said: “The delivery of personal investment advice and investment management remains at the core of our approach as we looked to refine our client-focused strategy regularly during the year. Our aim is to increase shareholder value by growing revenue, improving efficiency and continuing to increase our dividend payments.”
“We are now even more committed to increasing our service proposition through greater use of technology that is relevant to clients, intermediaries and our own advisers,” Gelber added.
