New Quadrant has retained the STEP Platinum Award, the highest level of accreditation in STEP's programme recognising best practices in learning and staff development. The programme, founded in 2014, evaluates the quality of training and professional development across member firms.

Founding partner Louise Stoten said: "This is a great achievement and one in which we can all share. STEP is one of the most significant bodies to represent our sector and to be awarded the highest of their accreditation levels again this year is a wonderful affirmation that we are considered amongst the best private client advisers in the country."
