A wealth management firm's Suffolk base is celebrating after coming top of its class at an industry awards ceremony.

Brewin Dolphin's Ipswich office was named best discretionary fund manager (DFM) in the east region at the Citywire Wealth Manager Regional Stars Awards 2017.

Headed by investment manager Andrew Wheeler, the branch offers services to clients in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire.

Independently managed company Brewin Dolphin also scooped regional awards for its offices in Cardiff (Wales), Exeter (south west) and Glasgow (Scotland and Northern Ireland).

Mr Wheeler said: 'We are thrilled with Brewin Dolphin's regional wins for best DFM.

'The wins are a testament of our commitment to support independent financial advisers with the best possible investment strategy to fit with their clients' expectations and investment needs.'
