Old Mill appoints wealth management boss from Evelyn Partners

Old Mill said she has been brought on board to boost its "collaborative growth plans".

Hodge said: “I am really pleased to be able to bring in another female partner, especially one who feels as passionate about promoting- and supporting - women in financial services as I do.

“When I started, I was the only female financial planner, now, eight of our 20-strong team are women, and Old Mill has four female partners, but there is still some way to go, which is why I am delighted to have such a superb role model for other women in the business in Amanda, giving them the belief that they can get there too.”

Browning is also co-founder of the Diamonds Network, a support group for successful women business leaders, and a huge advocate for women in financial services.

She added: “So often, women returning to the workforce after life events like having children, or the menopause don’t have the confidence in the support for a return to the workplace and therefore don’t push themselves forward. 

“Not only is this detrimental for their own careers, but means the business world is missing out on incredible talent, and I want to give women the tools and support they need to reach their true potential.”
