Derek Bradley Email & Phone Number

In my early career I worked at Lloyd’s of London, BOAC (the forerunner of British Airways) and returned to the world of financial services as a broker consultant at Scottish Equitable. I then went on to set up my own successful IFA business which I ran for 18 years before selling it in late 2006.In 2006 I spotted an opportunity to provide a better support service to smaller directly authorised IFAs and soon, Panacea was born. After some 15 years Panacea has developed organically a deeply engaged community of 22,000 small to medium sized financial advice firms who can thrive with our regular input of useful, timely and relevant support. Our goal is to provide these firms who offer financial advice the ability thrive and grow with our free resources, partnerships and data-based knowledge.We have a quite unique, independently verified, GDPR consented adviser audience that is simply not available anywhere else. We have a nationwide, direct to their ‘doorstep’ reach to 70% of investment, pension and individual protection UK wide advisers (according to Q4/20 Touchstone data) that our partners can get in front of and provide support levels that was not possible before.This is because our focus is on connecting or reconnecting our community of small to medium financial firms with provider firms.If financial advisory firms are a valued potential you would like to work with and support, are trying to unlock access, you should be considering a partnership with Panacea. You would be joining the likes of our current partners such as Aviva, BNY Mellon, Prudential, NS&I and M&G. We work with Pension Providers, Investment firms, Protection firms and back-office technology firms as partners. At Panacea we offer highly affordable access and engagement opportunities for both smaller/niche/boutique provider businesses as well as larger scale provider businesses.Feel free to send me a message and ask any questions as I am always happy to help.Visit us at www.panaceaadviser.comEmail me at derekbradley@panaceaadiviser.com

  Panacea Adviser

  Jan 2007 - Present - Newcastle Upon Tyne, England, Gb

  In February 2006 Derek Bradley created Panacea as he saw a widening gap between the quality of retail distribution service and resource support offered to directly regulated Adviser firms when compared to Networks and larger advisory firms.The industry support list for what we do is an endorsement in itself for the quality of the project.At the end of 2020, the Panacea community, verified by Equifax Touchstone, was responsible for 65% of the entire intermediated financial services distribution market and the firms our members work for are seen to be three times more productive.Panacea Adviser is an independent industry-supported portal that corrects the service imbalance with providers in a way that is RDR friendly and free to use.In the post RDR world, we are even more vital due to FCA "Dear CEO" inducement restrictions on support given to networks and national IFA firms who are in 2016 subject to continued severe fiscal scrutiny & regulatory restraint.We are a thriving web based community of some 25,000 (some 24,000 known by name with full contact details and many other very useful statistics) with some of the highest industry open rates for our free “Bento” e-bulletins containing the latest news, commentary and industry trends. Panacea Adviser is also very active within social media with over 10,000 Twitter followers, LinkedIn contacts and Panacea group members. Our LinkedIn profile in 2020 was in the top 5% viewed in the UK. Panacea is the place where advisers, providers, paraplanners and support services alike engage in discussions and exchange views on issues affecting their businesses.Panacea's industry profile is one of an authoritative and well-respected voice within the financial services industry with IFAs, sponsors, media, providers, financial services organisations/bodies and government representatives alike.Please do enjoy and use Panacea to the full, tell your industry friends and colleagues about us too.
