Belasis, Chilli Financial and Riverstone Wealth Management join Fairstone: Serving clients across Sunderland for over 37 years.
Belasis, based in Darlington, became part of the Fairstone family in 2018. Led by Craig Dyball, the team has been providing financial advice for several years, always striving to deliver the best outcomes for their clients. In December 2024, they transitioned to Fairstone’s Sunderland Head Office, further embedding themselves within a firm whose ethos and philosophy closely align with their own. By joining Fairstone, they have been able to enhance their approach, benefiting from the strength of a national firm while maintaining their client-first focus.

Led by Ian Robinson, the team had been advising clients for 16 years before relocating first to Darlington and then to Fairstone’s Head Office. Their decision to become part of Fairstone was driven by the firm’s client-centric approach, Chartered status, and national scale—key factors that provided them with the support and resources needed to continue delivering high-quality, independent financial advice. With access to a strong compliance framework and whole-of-market solutions, they remain committed to putting clients at the heart of everything they do.
