Dolmen Butler Briscoe has created a new personal financial advisory division. The service caters to individuals with a lump sum to invest and specialises in retirement planning for the self-employed and proprietary directors.

Mr Martin Murray, head of the new division says: "Dolmen Butler Briscoe will now offer advice on all types of investments, and retirement planning, with particular emphasis on Approved Retirement Funds (ARFs) which were introduced in the Finance Act 1999 as an alternative to buying an annuity at retirement for the self-employed and proprietary directors."
