Releasing a new episode each week, the first of the series will feature a conversation between Academy Award-winning actor Olivia Colman and Director and Joint Chief Executive of the National Theatre Rufus Norris.

Speaking about the complementary nature of the wealth management industry and Life in Stages, Paul Abberley, Charles Stanley chief executive said: “At Charles Stanley we understand the significance of conversation. We spend time getting to know our clients at every stage of life’s journey to help them achieve their personal and financial goals.”

Private banking is a relationship business, and always will be. According to the European Wealth Assurance Report from Lombard International Group, “good relationships and communications with the insurance company’s team” is one of the key factors for UK-based wealth professionals selecting their preferred Unit-Linked life insurance provider.

Abberly continued: “Much like Life in Stages, we discuss everything from careers to retirement, lifestyle to responsibilities, family and the wider community. After a tumultuous year for the arts, we are delighted to partner with the National Theatre to celebrate the art of conversation and to have had so many wonderful British Artists join this fantastic and timely series.”
