Challenge
After long careers in the corporate estate agency and financial services sector, Scott Flight and Simon Cox wanted to create something of their own. Their goal was to build a business with strong ethics, a great client experience, and a culture that put people first. To succeed, they needed a network that offered more than products. They needed tailored support, practical compliance, and the freedom to run their business their way.
Results
Cox & Flight launched in 2021 and hit the ground running and exceeded their business plan in month one. With support from HLP’s compliance, marketing, and leadership teams, they built introducer relationships, recruited new advisers, and began shaping a firm that truly reflected their values. “From day one, the experience was very different to the corporate world we came from. We feel like we’ve found a home where we’re treated like decent beings. Supported, nurtured, and listened to.” Simon Cox, Co-Founder – Cox & Flight

About Cox & Flight Financial Solutions
Founded in 2021, Cox & Flight brings over 70 years of combined experience to the estate agency financial services market. With a clear mission to disrupt outdated models and deliver excellent client outcomes, the firm has quickly become a standout success.
The Challenge
Scott and Simon had a clear vision when they left the corporate world: create a business with better values, where clients, staff, and introducers were treated fairly. But launching a firm from scratch meant finding the right support and avoiding the bureaucracy they’d experienced before.
The Solution
After reviewing other networks, Cox & Flight chose HLP because of its people-first approach. From day one, they had direct access to senior leaders and felt genuinely listened to. The support wasn’t just words, it was action through tailored compliance guidance, hands-on marketing help, and recruitment support that reflected their goals.
The Results
Within seven months, the firm had built strong introducer relationships and laid the groundwork for long-term success. The founders describe HLP as the right network and one that treats advisers with respect, helps them grow, and allows them to run their business with confidence. “There’s a genuine desire from HLP to help us grow our business. We’re ambitious, and we’ve found a home that supports that.”
