Reply Limited appointed to the FCA's Consultancy & Skilled Persons Framework 3

Reply Limited has been appointed to the FCA's Consultancy & Skilled Persons Framework 3 - effective 1 April 2026 for a four-year term, across four specialisms: Risk & Risk Management, Business Consultancy, Technology, and Resource Augmentation.

This is a meaningful recognition. The Framework enables us to be considered for consultancy and skilled persons engagements directly to the UK's financial regulatory authorities - the FCA, Bank of England, PSR, FOS and FSCS. Appointment is selective - and the bar is high.

For us, this is validation of something we have built deliberately: deep, credible capability at the intersection of financial services regulation, risk, and technology. It places us among a small group of firms trusted by the regulators who set the standards everyone else must meet.

To the teams whose expertise made this possible - and to the clients whose trust that expertise to solve complex problems - thank you.

Vishwas Khanna, Partner, Avantage Reply UK:

Regulators hold the line on standards that the entire financial system depends on. Being appointed to support them directly is a responsibility, one we have spent years building the expertise to meet.

Marty Clark, Partner, Avantage Reply UK:

Risk and transformation sit at the heart of what regulators grapple with and at the heart of what we do. This appointment is recognition that when the FCA needs independent expertise on both, Reply is among the firms it trusts to deliver it.
