Stonebridge Group was launched in 1988 as an independent brokerage which subsequently evolved by building on an infrastructure and sustainable business model to enhance the activities of broker partners. After a number of years growing its adviser numbers Stonebridge Group changed its FSA permissions to become authorised as a network. The network completed full authorisation of its 60 new members in November 2010 and now looks after more than 525 AR firms with over 1,000 advisers.
