Our History

20 years ago, a handful of senior financial services executives met informally, to share ideas and knowledge with their industry peers.

They talked about the sector, their business and how all concerned could benefit significantly from optimising their individual and corporate marketing effectiveness.

Fast forward to 2024, and our community has undergone a significant evolution. In over two decades, our members have navigated a financial crash, changes to regulation, Brexit, a rapidly moving tech landscape, and a pandemic to boot.

Forum Members are not only passionate about exceptional marketing and driving sales and revenue, but being the voice of the customer within their organisations. We can’t wait to see what they’ll do in the next twenty years – and we’ll continue to be here to support them on their journey.

"I’ve been a member of the Financial Services Forum for over a decade.
Throughout the years I have heard from many interesting and inspiring speakers at events, networked and shared thoughts and views with those in similar roles and had access to valuable content on the website.
I’d recommend to Financial Services marketers at every stage of their careers."

Head of Marketing, Canaccord Genuity Wealth Management

"Really appreciate the invitation and thought that, as always with the FSF, the event was brilliant. The team did a brilliant job of making everyone feel welcome and informed. Thank you again."

CEO, The Digital Lighthouse

" Very inspiring and good to step away from the day job for a couple of days and think about marketing in a different way and how I can then take the relevant learnings and interesting conversations back to my role. Thank you for a brilliant couple of days. "
