 M&G Wealth Advice, is part of M&G plc, one of the of the largest financial advice providers in the UK. 
 
There’s a high demand for financial advice in the UK, but at the moment, there’s only a limited number of financial advisers available. This means, many people who may need it most can struggle to gain access to valuable advice, that could really help them and their families. So, we’re growing our adviser community through the M&G Wealth Advice Academy, in an effort to fill this gap.
