‘To be recognised in this way is a real honour’: Pinnacle Award winner reflects on ‘an amazing year’

TECHNOLOGY is at the heart of the success of the business that took the top award at the Northamptonshire Business Awards last Friday.

O’Sullivan Financial Planning won the Pinnacle Award at the awards, hosted by Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce.

“I was shocked to be chosen for the Pinnacle Award,” said O’Sullivan Financial Planning’s director Conor O’Sullivan. “There were so many brilliant businesses in the room at the Northamptonshire Business Awards so to be recognised in this way was a real honour.”

It has been a pivotal year for O’Sullivan Financial Planning. In June 2023, the company moved from remote working to a converted barn office in Lamport, near Brixworth. Turnover and profit have increased exponentially in the last 12 months, with profit more than doubling in the past two years.

Conor was also named as a top-rated adviser in the latest VouchedFor’s 2024 Top Rated Financial Adviser Guide, which appeared in The Times in March, and has already qualified for 2025.

“It has been an amazing year for our firm,” said Conor. “The technology we have introduced has enabled us to streamline processes and increase productivity which has shown on the bottom line and in our incredible growth.”

The Pinnacle Award, sponsored by Wilson Browne Solicitors, recognises a “leading light in business: a person or business who inspires, a disruptor, an innovator, has shown exceptional growth, or ideally a combination of it all”. The winner was chosen as the most outstanding of all the Northamptonshire Business awards entries.

O’Sullivan Financial Planning was also shortlisted for the High Growth Business of the Year Award. The team has tripled in size and the business is hiring for several roles, from administrators to advisers.

“We believe passionately that our clients should live a ‘life well lived’ and we take the time to listen and understand their values, hopes and dreams, then work with them to plan how to make those dreams come true,” said Conor.

“I am so proud of all we have achieved this year and of the first-class service we always provide. Thank you to the Chamber for celebrating our team and for a fantastic event.”
