What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

I had recently had some money left as inheritance and wanted to invest it. I didn’t know whether it be in a pension or otherwise. I also wanted advice on my current and previous pension plans

How has John Hartley helped you?

John explained all scenarios and what he thought the best way of investing the money would be. He took me through every step, breaking it down into simple terms that I could understand. He was always at the end of the phone to ask any questions or to contact for any other advice. Also very accommodating in arranging meetings to discuss each stage.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes

John helped me transfer my pension. He provided helpful advice and explained things in a manner that I could understand (pensions/legalities what I will/won't be able to do etc.) John is very friendly and deals with things in a very professional manner.

Too early to tell yet but I trust John to advise if anything needs amending. I would certainly recommend John to my friends and family or anyone seeking a Financial Adviser.
