How has Andrew Speed helped you?

Since our first financial planning meeting over 15 years ago, Andrew has had the arduous task of constantly adapting and rearranging products to align with my particular financial situation which has frequently changed over the years. He has always thoroughly understood my situation and takes the time to explain comprehensively (in layman's terms), all the products that he recommends. From my personal experience, I can definitely say that Andrew provides a very professional and value for money service; for which the charges are always openly and readily explained in full. I would wholeheartedly recommend Andrew to anyone considering the services of a financial planner.

What could they have done better?

I can't think of any particular area in which Andrew could improve.

How has Andrew Speed helped you?

Andrew listened well to what I was looking for and explained things really clearly. He didn't bamboozle me with technical terms, but explained it to me in an easy to understand way. He made me feel confident in what he was arranging for me, and that he was doing what was right fore ME, and not for him. First class service. At our reviews, he takes time to let me see where my plans are, and suggests slight alterations where necessary. Nice to know he is keeping an eye on my investments
