Our Story – Timeline
From zero to heroes
2006
Andy and Bhav meet at work and instantly hit it off.
2007
Bhav starts his own mortgage practice called Evolution. It was set up to provide independent, transparent and honest advice – while aiming to keep everything simple.
2011
Andy joins Evolution, bringing his own experience and skills to the table. Then later that year, the dynamic duo take over Belgrange Mortgages.
2012
The pair are now offering advice on wealth management, insurance, auto-enrolment, and estate planning as well as mortgages. So Evolution Financial Services Ltd is born.
2013
The time has come to stop working from home. Evolution Financial Services moves into its first office in Harrow. Once nicely settled in, the company acquires its first IFA client base from Nexis.
2016
Evolution takes over Wem & Co Financial Services, then expands with a second office in Acton.
2018
Next Andy and Bhav acquire Executive Mortgages, paving the way for a third office in Teddington.
2020
From two people working at home, the Evolution team now has more than 200 years’ combined experience and manages over £100m of assets on behalf of clients.
And beyond
The growth continues but the drive to offer a service that’s honest, simple and totally geared to clients is as strong today as it was on day one.
