Citywide Financial Partners and Surrey Hills Enterprises are delighted to officially launch their new partnership.

Surrey based wealth management and financial advice company Citywide Financial Partners have joined forces with Surrey Hills Enterprises, a Community Interest company supporting the special Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The partnership will support a drive to build sustainable growth in the Surrey Hills by developing a hub of innovative, high quality local products and services.  The programme will promote the new Trade Mark Surrey Hills, an accreditation and mark of local provenance, quality and sustainability.  The Award promotes the very best of what Surrey has to offer and celebrates those organisations who share the values of supporting the local environment.

The partnership reflects Citywide’s focus on sustainability and their strapline of ‘do something today that your future self will thank you for”.

Clinton Askew, Chief Executive Officer for Citywide Financial Partners said ‘this partnership reflects our key values of trust, care and aspiration. We will be working closely with Surrey Hills on their exciting programme to support this special area.  The partnership is launching alongside our brand new set of portfolios that conform to stronger Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria. We know that for many of our clients, priorities are shifting and it’s no longer just economic factors that are important when investing.”

Simon Whalley, Chairman of Surrey Hills Enterprises, said: “We are delighted to be working with Clinton and his team at Citywide Financial Partners. With the growing focus on sustainability, we have the opportunity to make a real difference for current and future generations and protect our beautiful Surrey Hills countryside and heritage”.

About Surrey Hills:

The Surrey Hills is one of the first areas in the country to be designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).  It covers 25% of Surrey and with a 6-mile hinterland around the AONB it covers most of Surrey except the north western parts of the County.

About Surrey Hills Enterprises:

Surrey Hills Enterprises is the Community Interest Company arm of the AONB. It was set up in 2012 to support and develop the rural economy and tourism and to promote and enhance the Surrey Hills.

Surrey Hills Enterprises core activities are focused on ‘clean growth’, environmental sustainability and building a strong local economy and tourism industry.  It has a strong Membership of local businesses who receive business support including training, mentoring, collaboration and a Surrey Hills marketing platform.

There is now greater focus on developing the rural economy in a sustainable way that protects and enhances the environment. At the same time, buying local and linking to environmental impact is becoming increasingly popular and a key factor in customer choices. Many local producers also offer exciting experiences such as tastings, workshops and demonstrations.

Surrey Hills Enterprises aims to substantially increase the support it gives by building a thriving rural business community and developing Surrey Hills into one of the top nationally recognised countryside destinations and brands in the UK.
