Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Richard
Richard could not have been more helpful. He took the time to explain the law behind our query and helped us to understand the options open to us. He could not have been more professional whilst being open, honest and friendly. We will definitely contact him again if we have further queries.

How has Richard Hollington helped you since your last review?
Richard has been my advisor for nearly 10 years, he has been as enthusiastic about helping and advising me in the last 12 months has he was when we first met, which says to me he really cares about me and doesn't take me for granted as a client.

How has Richard Hollington helped you since your last review?
Everything we wrote in 2023 about the service that Rick provides is correct going forward. Even though Rick could 'meet' with us online he continues to come to our home for face-to-face meetings as he feels he can better explain the current financial situation and trends for investment. We always discuss our finances and our attitudes to risk in a holistic manner - not just considering our investments through Fairstone. We feel that Rick has helped us develop a good and flexible financial package that will provide for my husband and I though our retirement. In our most recent annual review we discussed the possible benefits in using our Stocks and Shares ISA allowance in this financial year. However, we never feel there is any pressure on us to react immediately - we always have time to consider our options, and Rick supports us in whatever we decide. We continue to trust Rick, and his team at Fairstone, as a very dependable financial advisory service and will look forward to meeting with Rick regularly in the future.
