What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
To consolidate our various pensions and possible early retirement. We had been waiting for help from our bank and it had taken too long and a recommendation led us to Russell.
How has Russell Tonks helped you?
We felt confident that our needs and aims were completely understood. He thoroughly looked at our position and showed us that we could achieve our dream of early retirement.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Russell has helped us to make sense of our pensions, which we could never have done alone. He has steered us through reams of paperwork, explaining at length as needed. We now have our dream in sight in the near future.
What could they have done better?
Nothing other than a warning of the amount of paperwork to wade through! He has done a great job so far. We look forward to a long association with him.
