Vested

Vested is a financial services communications agency on a mission to shape a more accessible, transparent and sustainable financial system. Over the past 12 months, the agency has continued to build on strong foundations while pushing bolder thinking for its people, its business and its clients. In 2025, Vested delivered 20% year-on-year growth, increasing annual fee income to £3.3m while maintaining a 20% profit margin. Half of all growth came from existing client relationships, reflecting the trust the agency has built across banking, asset management, fintech and insurance. Alongside commercial growth, Vested continued investing in culture, development and wellbeing. The agency was recognised as a Sunday Times Best Place to Work for the second consecutive year, driven by strong anonymous employee feedback. Today, 89% of employees say they are happy at work, 92% believe the company cares about their well-being, and 93% feel proud to work at Vested. Culture at Vested is built around trust, flexibility and long-term development. Employees benefit from flexible working, unlimited paid time off, monthly Rested Days and a fully equitable six-month parental leave policy. In 2025, Vesties received an average of 70 hours of training through VestEd sessions, graduate programmes, Wellness Wednesdays and external coaching. The agency also continues to support greater diversity and access within financial services communications through partnerships with organisations, including the Taylor Bennett Foundation and City University, helping create pathways into the industry for underrepresented talent.
