Initially, I wanted advice on combining various pensions and look at insurance and protection. My circumstances changed due to a tragic life event which Stuart was able to support me through by helping to contact and claim insurance providers.

Other than the support during my drastic change in circumstances, Stuart has provided consistent advice about my pension and investments and keeps me well informed of any changes.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, I am happy with all outcomes.

What could they have done better?

There is nothing that I can think of that they can do to improve at this time.
