Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Paul
Paul has been so helpful in guiding us through our tax return. Being complete novices at his sort of thing we would have really struggled otherwise. He has answered all our queries clearly and has been so professional throughout the process. Nothing has been too much trouble and being able to speak to him 'out of hours' has been such a bonus. Thank you.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
At the time we began working with Paul, both my husband and I were working full time and we wanted to plan for the future, particularly preparing for a family.
How has Paul Eason helped you?
He listened to our needs and helped us plan for the future. As life changed, he helped us to adapt and adjust our plans. Paul was also the first person we would go to when we needed to face redundancy, planning a new business and then, sadly, terminal illness.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Now, as a widow, Paul, Bryrony and the team are my trusted experts. Helping me adapt and plan wisely for the future without my husband. They have listened to my worries and my needs, they have reassured me when feeling anxious and they have helped me understand and move forward. I feel so much more confident knowing they are there and ready to help whenever I need it.

Paul is obviously passionate about his subject and eager to share his knowledge, so most of our initial meeting was him speaking. I didn't get the chance to ask many questions and he didn't seem to view listening to my needs as an objective of the meeting.

Being naive and having a company pension, I wanted to enquire whether to leave it where it was, or would it be beneficial for me to withdraw/transfer it too another pension provider where the potential benefits would be better long term for myself and family.
How has Paul Eason helped you?
Paul has patience and explains things in laymans terms, he explained both the pros and cons of leaving my pension funds where they were, as well as withdrawing and transferring to various types of pension funds. The nice thing, I never felt under any pressure at any time to go one way or the other and any further questions I had, were quickly answered.

At the present time I am not drawing on my pension, however but the funds are increasing especially during the torrid time we have had over the last 12 months I.e. COVID & Brexit.

I find this hard to answer, as Paul always makes himself available for meetings and more recently Zoom calls, in order to provide updates on how the funds are doing and recommending changes/tweaks if he feels a better return could be had.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My husband started a business with 2 colleagues over 40 years ago and Paul has looked after our investments since then.
How has Paul Eason helped you?
Paul helped us with the business regarding insurance and personally with investments. He explained everything easily so we understood and he gave advice on all questions asked. If we found difficulty in some aspects, he could always approach the answer in another way.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. I am now on my own after losing my husband 2 years ago and Paul's advice has been invaluable. He contacts me immediately if there are any changes he thinks I ought to know about and is constantly reviewing my investments.
What could they have done better?
I cannot think of anyone better to look after my investments and over many years he has helped and guided me and my family. I know I am able to contact Paul any time for his advice.

Yes, I have now retired and very happy with the advice I received.

The only issue I had was the amount of time it took to sort all the pensions I had, but this wasn’t Paul’s fault. Some companies move at their own pace.
