I turned 60 and wanted to review my Pension options. I had Pensions with various providers.

Kevin went through the various options and gave me information on my own circumstances and what the various outcomes could be. Eg transferring all into one pension pot, leaving as they are. Also how to take a lump sum and how that effects the outcome.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes
What could they have done better?
Nothing. The meetings were very helpful, Kevin went through everything and made the whole process very easy. I did not really understand the different Pension options, after the meetings I felt clear on what the best options for me were.
