Two of our leading advisers from Blackdown Financial, based in Taunton, have been recognised among the UK’s best. Simon Cutler, Director and Financial Planner, and Emma Hamilton, Mortgage and Protection Adviser, have both been named Top Rated Advisers by VouchedFor – the UK’s largest independent review platform for financial and mortgage professionals.
Their achievement was highlighted in The Times this weekend (Saturday 21st March 2026) as part of the national Top Rated Financial Advisers Guide, shining a spotlight on the consistently high standard of service provided by Blackdown Financial.
Simon has earned Top Rated Adviser status every year since 2014, reflecting more than a decade of trusted, high quality financial guidance while Emma has received the same recognition every year since 2022, demonstrating her commitment to clarity, support, and excellent client care. Simon speaking about the award said, “I’m very proud that our services receive so much positive feedback from so many clients, and this is testament to the collective effort and excellent work from the entire team. At Blackdown Financial, the mission is clear and simple: We take the stress out of your finances so you can relax knowing it’s all in hand.”
A recent client quote taken from the Vouchedfor platform enthusing about the services offered: “Emma is AMAZING. Emma has supported and guided us through a very difficult move and got us some fantastic deals bearing in mind our increasing ages now. I thoroughly recommend Emma and would not consider going anywhere else for financial advice. We cannot thank her enough.”
Our firm hopes that this national recognition will encourage more local people to seek professional guidance – whether you’re planning for retirement, buying a home, or protecting your family’s future. With award winning advisers and a deeply client focused approach, Blackdown Financial continues to be one of the region’s most trusted names in financial advice.
