An excellent broad-based conference with an abundance of industry knowledge and meaningful debates. In crowded space, much the best all-round platform conference at present.

The Platforum’s vast experience and huge range of contacts moved our business swiftly from first base to that of having a significant number of high quality connections across a selection of locations we were targeting in Europe. Holly understood our business needs and put us in touch with the right people in the right businesses. The Platforum provide the first step for a business setting up new distribution channels who don’t want to waste time and money trying to find quality contacts themselves

"We find the market research useful, and when it has been applicable, we have used it to provide context in Board discussions."

“The Platforum helped us to manage the process of choosing a platform fit for our business, providing invaluable input and guidance into the due diligence and final section process. This saved us unnecessary meetings and time spent wading through numerous platform marketing pitches which weren’t relevant for us.”

Katharine Photiou, Principal, Mercer

"Thank you for such a high quality report. It has received great feedback from the governance group. It is a super read, very logical and exceptionally well written."

Perry Rapley, CEO and IFA, Parnell Fisher Child

The Platforum’s industry knowledge helped us to make a well-informed decision about which platform to adopt for our business. Before we were aware of this service we wasted a lot of our time trying to sift through all of the providers out there and all the various marketing pitches. We enjoyed working with Holly and her team who got to grips with our business and helped us pick the right fit for our clients.

The Platforum’s event on stochastic modeling was one of the very best I have been involved with. The organization and the senior level of attendees were both first class, as was the chairmanship. The Platforum as an organization is also “on the pulse of the industry” in a way that few others are, and this shows through in the selection and timing of the events they organise.

Adrian Bond, Head of Investment Products, Royal Liver Group

The report is pitched exactly at the level I was hoping and provides an excellent independent perspective on the opportunity. I'm also very grateful for both the comments regarding the proposition's features and the wider global context. Thanks for an excellent piece of work

We've seen a number of reports on platforms - the UK Platform Report is the most detailed and informative, and is one I refer to frequently
