About us

How we became S&W

We’re proud to introduce S&W as we embark on our new chapter with a new name and even greater determination.

Founded originally as Smith & Williamson, we are a company with an impressive legacy. Most recently under the Evelyn Partners brand we grew rapidly, doubling in size. It was the perfect opportunity to review our performance, have confidence in our future and set ambitious goals.
