About Us

Established in 1989, Hamnett Wealth Management has been built on core values that have been integral to the company’s success over the last 30 years.

Building long-lasting relationships


Hamnett Wealth Management is owned and managed by Phil Smith and Jonathan Rowley who first met at HSBC back in 1994. Phil joined Hamnett Wealth in 1996 with Jonathan joining in 2002. Together they took total control of the business in 2008. Since then, they have evolved and adapted the business to keep pace with the shifting economic landscape and the constant changes in legislation and regulatory regimes.

Phil and Jonathan, both Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs), have built long-lasting relationships with clients and their families across Sheffield and Derbyshire, some of whom have been dealing with the company for the last 30 years.

In a fast changing world, and with a wealth of experience under their belts, Phil and Jonathan are committed to ensuring that the business stays focused on providing stability, reassurance and support to clients who have entrusted their financial future with them.

“Thank you for all your help and patience in assisting me with my finances. After the death of my husband, I did not know what to do with all the lawyers papers and am embarrassed to say I had no idea what it all meant. My husband used to deal with everything. You made sense of it all and I now feel that I have had a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Thank you.”

Mrs L, Dore, Sheffield

“Just a quick note to say thank you for sorting out my various pension plans that I had accumulated over the years. I had lost track of what I should be doing and was surprised to see how poor the performance was of some of the older plans. Your report was very thorough. I now feel that I am on target for retiring at sixty-five. I would also like to thank your wonderful staff who were always helpful and attentive to me.”

Mr S, Bradway, Sheffield.

As a trustee of a final salary pension scheme, I was very dissatisfied with my previous pensioner trustees. My accountant recommended you and I am very happy to see that we are now receiving correspondence when we should.”

Mr C, Dronfield

“Having been the victim of an accident at work, my solicitor recommended that I speak with you. I received a substantial award for my injuries and I needed to ensure that the money would last me for the rest of my life. I cannot thank you enough for all your help and also for explaining things in such a way that I understood what we were doing and knowing we had considered all the options available.”

Mr B, Chesterfield
