Fairey Associates is a growing firm of independent financial advisers serving clients across London, East Anglia, and the south east of England. Our mission is simple – to help individuals, families, and businesses make confident financial decisions through clear, professional, and personalised advice. We take the time to understand each client’s unique goals and circumstances, ensuring that every recommendation we make is both appropriate and aligned with their long-term ambitions.
Our approach is holistic, covering all aspects of financial planning, from investments and pensions to protection, estate planning, and beyond. As an independent firm, we are not tied to any provider or product range. This allows us to survey the whole of the market to identify the most suitable solutions for our clients. Whether you are planning for retirement, looking to grow your wealth, or seeking to protect your family’s future, we deliver advice that is transparent, tailored, and firmly in your best interest.
We pride ourselves on building lasting relationships founded on trust, integrity, and exceptional service. Many of our clients come to us through personal recommendations – a testament to the care and attention we bring to every engagement. By combining deep technical expertise with a personal touch, we aim to make financial planning an empowering and rewarding experience for all our clients.

We are currently open to talk with Diploma or Chartered Financial Advisers who can help further develop the reputation and professionalism that Fairey Associates is built upon. To have an informal, confidential discussion please contact us on 0345 319 0005 or apply through our contact form.
You can send us a letter, give us a call or complete our Discovery Meeting form – whichever is most convenient. From here, we will contact you and arrange an initial phone call with one of our Financial Advisers.
We have detailed below the process of becoming a Fairey Associates client, so that you know what to expect.
This conversation will establish to see if we are best suited to help with your financial planning needs. The Adviser will ask questions to clarify our understanding of your current situation. There will be an explanation of how we go about gathering the necessary information needed to assist you with making the correct financial decisions.
Assuming you like what you hear, and we feel we can “add value” and not waste your time, we can arrange an initial meeting, usually at one of our offices, for a mutually agreeable time.
This first meeting is often referred to as a “Discovery Meeting”.
We will confirm the time and date of your discovery meeting by email. This email will also include a list of relevant documents we require you to gather in preparation. The more relevant documents you can bring, the more effective the meeting will be. If you are ever in doubt about what to bring, our office is only a phonecall away and our staff will always be more than willing to help in any way they can.
As a company, we value our relationships with our clients above all else. The discovery meeting will be an opportunity for both parties to break the ice and for you to find out what Fairey Associates stands for as a business. After these initial introductions, we can start the discovery element. We will lead the meeting and discuss your financial requirements, aspirations and plans for the future. We will also explore your risk tolerances in some detail (“attitude to risk”) and your full financial and family situation (often called a “fact find”). As we go through the meeting we’ll also refer to the documentation you compiled before the meeting.
We will also cover our fees, our credentials and answer any further questions you may have.
If we both like what we see and hear, and want to go to the next stage, we’ll seek your approval to be appointed as your wealth manager. That means you instruct us to begin work on preparing your personal plan to address your stated objectives and our agreed areas from this meeting.
Our advisers will make every effort to see our clients wherever is best for them; at whatever time. Of course, we prefer to meet at our offices during business hours where we can give the best possible service; but we know that is not always possible for you. Be assured though, as our advisers have secure “offices in the cloud”, no matter where they are in the world they can securely access everything they need to provide a professional service, for you.
Our clients want a personal relationship, so we’ve built a network of offices across the South of England and East Anglia. Our offices range in scale and character and through the Regus network we have access to a meeting room near you.
All postal communication should be sent to our Head Office in Threshelfords, Feering.
