Swindon financial advisor shortlisted for two business awards

Swindon businessman and founder of Dave Southby Financial Planning, Dave Southby, has been shortlisted for two regional business awards.

The nominations are in recognition of business success since launching in 2021 and his commitment to supporting the local community.

Dave, 31, from Wroughton, has built a highly successful financial planning business and has quickly become a valued member of the local community.

His business is a finalist in two categories at the TBE Awards 2024 – the Going the Extra Mile Award and the Positive Business Award.

These categories acknowledge his dedication to going above and beyond for his clients, as well as his positive contributions to the community.

“We are incredibly proud to be nominated for not one but two region awards recognising our commitment to the community and going the extra mile for our clients,” said Dave.

“These are two of our core values so to be nominated in both categories shows the hard work we have done to put these are the centre of what we do.”

In September, Dave and his colleague Neil took on the challenge of the Thames Path 100km walk, raising £2,800 – surpassing their £2,500 target – for the Kelly Foundation, their chosen charity for 2024, which supports mental health initiatives in the local community.

Dave’s firm is up against strong competition in the Going the Extra Mile Award, alongside Genesis Trust and Voices Charity, as well as in the Positive Business Award, which includes Digital Wonderlab, Gel Studios, and Gooding Accounts.

Winners will be announced at a celebration event on Thursday, October 17 at Cumberwell Park, Bradford on Avon.
