Our Story

30 Years of Building What Matters

What started as Medfin on 1 July 1996, with two clients and a belief that fulfilment is built over a lifetime, has grown into Third Age Group: a connected group of businesses, people, and partnerships.

The Third Age is about more than reaching a destination. It’s about having the freedom to pursue what matters next. That belief continues to shape everything we do, helping our clients build towards financial security, fulfilment and a legacy that lasts.

We are not one business. We are an ecosystem of companies, partners and people, and after thirty years, we are only getting started.
