Your monthly update from Hansford Bell: New faces, London events, and plenty of running
Yet another incredibly busy month down for the team at Hansford Bell, and plenty has been happening both in and out of the office.
From welcoming a new member of the team to heading to London for a few events, and even taking on the Plymouth Half Marathon, there has been a lot going on behind the scenes.
Before we get started, we would like to thank you all for leaving many Google and VouchedFor reviews for us in recent months.
This feedback greatly helps us improve the level of service we provide to you, and it was lovely to read all your comments.
And, we’re excited to announce that we’ve been shortlisted for the 2026 Moneyfacts Retirement Adviser of the Year award! This demonstrates just how committed we are to helping you work towards your retirement goals.
On to this month’s update!
Welcoming Laura Hendriksen to the team
We’re delighted to welcome Laura Hendriksen to Hansford Bell. Laura joined us as a self-employed adviser and will be based in the Torbay area, where she’ll be offering financial planning support to clients.

It’s always exciting to welcome someone new to the team when they bring fresh experience and a new perspective to the way we work with clients.
And, as an interesting fact, Laura is also a professional golfer!
We’re pleased to have her with us and look forward to seeing her settle into the team over the coming months.
A busy few days of learning in London
A few members of the team also headed to London recently for several events across a very busy few days.

We attended Brett Davidson’s conference, the TRAP live podcast, and Timeline’s Adviser 3.0 conference.
It was certainly a packed schedule, but definitely brilliant.
Events such as these give us the chance to step away from the office, hear new ideas, and spend time with others in the financial planning profession.
For us, this is valuable because it helps us bring fresh thinking back into how we support you, and there’s always something useful to take away.
Team members take on the Plymouth Half Marathon
Finally, we’d like to give a huge well done to the team members who recently ran the Plymouth Half Marathon.

Taking on a run like this is no small challenge and requires a fair amount of preparation, determination, and, probably, a few aching legs afterwards.
It’s always lovely to see the team getting involved in challenges outside of work, and events like this are a reminder of the energy we bring to our roles.
We’ll be sure to share more team updates soon, but for now, congratulations to our runners and a warm welcome to Laura.
