James has helped me enormously by getting to know and understanding my circumstances and goals, explaining the options open to me in easy to understand terms, agreeing a plan and ensuring that this remains on course to meet my goals. I have gained peace of mind knowing that I have a plan tailored to my needs.

My recent meeting with James shows that I am on course to be able to have the retirement lifestyle I want.

James has done exactly what I wanted in a friendly, professional and approachable manner. I cannot think of anything that James could do better.
