Nigel has been very helpful by setting up meetings with me and my family during which he was able to explain the financial implications of my future plans. He has acquainted himself with my financial investments, and advised me on matters relating to investments, capital and income. I am confident in Nigel's knowledge and abilities to reach the required outcome in due course.

My pensions were all over the place. I also needed a will. Nigel organised my pensions so they were all in one place and he organised my will. I would consider recommending Nigel to anyone who expressed a need to speak to an adviser.

My husband and I were seeking to invest a lump sum for the future and to provide a pension, alongside other investment opportunities. Nigel diligently gathered information from us regarding our aims and goals for the future and our attitude to risk. This has enabled him to advise accordingly on portfolios to match our needs and comfort levels. We are confident that with Nigel's able assistance, we will reap the rewards in due course.
