How has Damien Rylett helped you?

Damien Rylett has been our financial advisor for around fifteen years from the time that we had our own business in the construction industry until the present time. We were very pleased when Damien formed Brunel Capital Partners and had no hesitation in continuing our ongoing relationship with the new company. Damien has always provided a personal service and has given sound advice on all matters of financial planning including our recent retirement. We look forward with confidence to our continuing relationship with Brunel Capital Partners.

What could they have done better?

We have no constructive criticism as the service we receive is more than satisfactory.

How has Damien Rylett helped you?

My Wife and I have used the services of Damien for some years, both before he and his colleagues set up his present Company, Brunel Capital Partners Ltd and subsequent to its formation. We have always found him to be most approachable, honest and trustworthy and fully appreciative of our financial needs and aspirations, particularly with regard to the extent of the risks we feel comfortable in undertaking concerning our investment portfolio. We have no hesitation in recommending his services.

What could they have done better?

I cannot think of any specific matters on which he could have been expected to perform better.

How has Damien Rylett helped you?

From the start I have been impressed with Mr. Rylett's sincere commitment to understand what I wanted, my portfolio was mend to be for when I retire or as my safety net before my retirement in case I cannot work any longer. We discussed several times in meetings or by email what I wanted, expected and why taking care of the money I inherited was going to be invested in that way it would grow even further was so important to me. Mr. Rylett listened, I felt he understood and came with suggestions and did set up a good portfolio, explaining why and what. The portfolio was set up in May '11 although I have had meetings and correspondence since May 2010, since then, the portfolio has gone up in value; also we had meetings, regular updates and through monthly emails I read what is going on and great to read about office staff. I would advice Mr. Rylett as a financial adviser to any of my friends or family.

What could they have done better?

I have no constructive suggestions; except keeping up the high standards. I had a few advisers in my lifetime when I was living abroad but Mr. Rylett tops them all in service and integrity. For example when my husband died in an airplane crash, our adviser called my husband's airline in the UK to ask how much would I receive from the insurance, he called behind my back within days of the accident, I was appalled. I only knew about it because the office called me to warn me for this adviser! So if I can give any advise to any financial adviser it would be integrity, honesty and empathy, trying to "stand in someone else's shoes" to understand their situation. Mr. Rylett has all three qualities.
