Meet the Sponsors: Kellands Financial Planning

We are delighted to welcome Kellands Financial Planning as a sponsor of the 25th anniversary edition of the Golden Bridge Trade & Investment Awards. While new to the Awards, Kellands brings over three decades of expertise in delivering clear, independent financial advice to businesses of all sizes.

Kellands’ specialist corporate division, headed by Tom Binstead, provides advice and tailored financial solutions to large corporations, SMEs, and business owners, from start-up and growth to sale or succession. Kellands has already supported many BLCC members with their financial expertise, strengthening businesses across our network. Earlier this year, Tom joined our HR webinar to share valuable insights on Salary Sacrifice and Tax Efficiency, a clear example of their commitment to helping members navigate complex financial decisions.

Reflecting on their new partnership with the BLCC, Tom Binstead commented:

“We are thrilled to support and be part of this year's awards, which reinforces our commitment to support growth and innovation, and we look forward to celebrating the outstanding achievements of the finalists and engaging with members in this vibrant business community.”

Tom and the team provide expert guidance across the full range of services, including tax-efficient remuneration strategies, safeguarding a company’s future against unforeseen events, Workplace Pensions & Auto-Enrolment, and corporate cash and investment management. They can also play a pivotal role in exit and succession planning.

At the core of their business is the design and implementation of employee benefits programmes. To ensure businesses realise the full value of their investment, Tom is focused on communicating and engaging with employees, ensuring staff fully understand the resources available to them. This recognises that a company's success is intrinsically linked to the well-being of its workforce. When employees understand the full value of their benefits, it demonstrates a genuine commitment to their health and builds a positive workplace culture, leading to improved morale, higher engagement, and increased productivity. This approach delivers a tangible value that far exceeds the cost of the benefits themselves.

We look forward to welcoming Kellands throughout the awards and are confident that their expertise will be a valuable asset to our members.
