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

I felt that my finances were not being managed as I wanted or expected

How has Paul Boulton helped you?

Paul went above and beyond the call of duty to provide me with the best annuity rate possible, in very frustrating circumstances. He spent a long time on the phone to the relevant company - when he finally managed to get through to them - ensuring that they were abiding by their quote. He realised that the company had not given the quote correctly in the first instance - their mistake - and used this to ensure that their service after this was of a high quality, despite the length of time taken by them to fulfill the transaction. Thank you Paul for your persistence - it paid off.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, I got a better annuity rate than I had expected

What could they have done better?

Nothing. Paul made sure that my vulnerability due to health conditions and family illness at the time were taken into account in his dealings with me, delivering papers by hand because of my lack of mobility

I found Paul incredibly helpful because I really didn't know where to start with a pension. Paul provided me with clear concise information which was free from any pressure or obligation. I was encouraged to ask any questions and he always fully clarified any queries or concerns I had. For this reason there was a level of trust built, something which is incredibly important where money is concerned. He also always reassures me that he is only at the other end of the phone if I have any problems.

Wanting to make the most of what money we had. We weren't happy with our previous adviser.

How has Paul Boulton helped you?

He advised on our pension investments based on our attitude to risk which he'd taken time to establish. He took into account our aims for the future and explained what kind of income we could hope to achieve. He advised on income protection insurance, life insurance etc, spending time to find out our needs and wants and baying advice on this. He initiated reviews- something previous advisers have never done. He's responsive to the changing external environment. He spends a lot of time explaining things which is very helpful. He doesn't force his views but is clear on his recommendations. He treats myself and my husband very much as different prospects with potentially different approaches to risk and money. He doesn't take sides. He sees us in his house which is both welcoming, professional yet also demonstrates his personality. This is a small community- when we've seen him around the area he's always friendly, taking the time to greet us.

It's ongoing and the current situation is so volatile but we're definitely heading in the right direction and his advice had made a difference.

He listens, asks questions, intent on getting right outcome for you. Very approachable, responds to queries or worries very quickly, easily able to speak to him personally. He looked after me at a very distressing time when dealing with finances was the last thing I wanted. He was compassionate, thoughtful and kind while always maintaining a professional manner. I do not worry about my pension any more!

Mr Boulton replies promptly to all communications, and deals with any difficulties. He is thorough in his explanations of what he is advising, and open about costs. We had been ill-advised previously, and were in rather a fix, but he sorted it out for us and even continued business while on holiday in order to save time and complete the work. Although we have only recently been clients of Mr Boulton we are very satisfied with the service he has given over a very difficult period.

Paul takes the time to understand my financial goals for my retirement and always provides a detailed well, thought-out response to those goals. It's great to have someone like Paul to bounce ideas off about how to achieve my financial goals (particularly in the current uncertain times), who is well-qualified and experienced. Whilst family and friends may be well-intentioned with their 'advice', there's no substitute for a professional IFA.

Paul carried out a detailed and full review of our finances and prepared a detailed but easy to understand summary of our meetings and the excellent advice offered. Paul also spent much more time than we anticipated to ensure our wishes were met and was readily available to deal with any queries or to assist with the required detailed paperwork to comply with FSA regulations. A full risk review was completed and again presented in a first class professional manner and he readily and clearly explained his fee structure. It is a pleasure to deal with Paul and he is a credit to the industry.

Since that time Paul has dealt with all of my financial planning, and has become the most trusted advisor I have. He has always prepared fully prior to visiting, which makes me feel that he appreciates the significance of time and efficiency. I would recommend Paul to anyone seeking financial guidance.

I found Paul to have the right level of expert knowledge with which to get my finances on track with a package that took account of my attitude to risk and my goals in respect of future income. Paul has the ability to get complex financial information across in such a way as to make it easily understandable to the layman. His service is second to none, once we had agreed the approach everything was handled smoothly without any stress to myself, everything he said he would do was done in good time. Paul has followed up with several meetings and regular phone calls to keep me abreast of things, I find this aspect of his service a real refreshing change to other experiences I have had with financial advisors. I find it very refreshing to deal with a fellow professional and would recommend his services to anybody looking for strong and sound financial planning. John Mc

Paul Bolton has been dealing with my familie's finances for many years. He has helped my parents to set up a trust fund and advise them on Tax Issues after retirement. After I was widowed six years ago Paul assisted me in sorting out my complicated finances. He gave sound advise on how I could invest for my future and that of my young sons. No phone call was too much trouble. He is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and very professional. With his help I am able to retire early from teaching and have my long awaited Gap Year. I can recommend his services. Paul has given impartial advise on how to plan for my future. Paul was very concerned that I did the right thing for me.

I would most definitley vouch for the professional services offered by Paul, he has provided us with excellent general financial advice for quite a number of years. His specific recommendations are always fully explained and easily justified and therefore all choices have been easily reached. Paul initially chatted to us and gained a picture of 'where we were' and 'where we aspired to be'. The subsequent feedback from Paul was very professional and gave us a clear understanding of how to start planning for our future. Since this initial meeting we have met back up with Paul numerous times to re-evaluate our position and to add to our financial portfolio he has help us build.
