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

I had inherited money from my late parents after the sale of their property. This resulted me being just over the inheritance tax level.

How has Mark Walker helped you?

Advised me the best way to invest this money bearing in mind some of the money I did't want to invest for many years as I was going to give some to my daughter to buy property in the near future.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, except when the Stock Market hasn't performed well! Certainly a lot better than the Building Society where I would have invested the money.

What could they have done better?

No, I have been completely satisfied with him and felt I could approach him at any time with any queries I had. He explained matters to me in everyday language!

How has Mark Walker helped you?

When I retired last year, I required the service of a local trustworthy Independent Financial Adviser who could also offer me a very competitive charging structure. After speaking with several Barnstaple based adviser's I selected Mark Walker. I am glad that I did because the advice and service provided to me by Mark has been excellent! He is very easy to talk to and very easy to understand and explained everything to me from start until finish. His on-going review process is very thorough to ensure that my Investments remain on track.

What could they have done better?

Absolutely nothing!

How has Mark Walker helped you?

Mark helped me work through which pension scheme would best suit me. He fully explained everything in plain English and ensured I was happy with the plan he had recommended for me. He made me feel totally at ease and comfortable at all times. I found him fair and fully trustworthy and knew he had my best interest at heart and not his own rewards. I would recommend Mark 100% every time. If I could give him an extra 5*'s I would.....that's how happy I was with his service. Thank you again Mark !

What could they have done better?

Absolutely nothing.

How has Mark Walker helped you?

I have dealt with Mark Walker for my Retirement Planning and Investment Planning needs for 5 years. Mark is always easy to talk to in a manner that I understand. I receive a financial review of my Investments twice a year, which is always on time and very informative. I would recommend Mark to anyone who has an investment portfolio and is unhappy with their existing Adviser.

Mark Walker dealt with my new investment very efficiently and within the time scales as promised. He was very thorough during his fact-finding and assessing my goals, objectives attitude to risk, views and needs. He explained his recommendations in plain English, which I could understand. I fully understood my new investment and why it was appropriate for me. The initial adviser fee was very competitive and I have signed up for a regular half-yearly review again at a very competitive on-going fee. All in all a very professional service.
