A WEALTH management company with bases in Handforth and Knutsford is on course for a record-breaking year, with turnover set to rise to more than £7 million.

Equilibrium Asset Management, which employs 63 staff and manages more than £600 million worth of assets for more than 850 UK families, has landed £75 million of new assets.

The latest success follows the company’s crowning as the fifth-best small company to work for by the Sunday Times this year.

Colin Lawson, who founded the company 21 years ago, said: “We are on course for a record breaking performance this financial year.

“We have already passed our new under assets under management target for the year to date by £7 million, just nine months in, and we are also confident that we will surpass the target of £90 million of new assets under management for the whole year.

“After ranking fifth in the Sunday Times list and winning Best Adviser Firm UK, 2017 is officially the best year in the company’s history.

“We feel now,that the structure of our business means that our service can be easily designed around clients’ specific needs.”
