Honest and plain spoken. Did not try to sell me anything but offered good advice and common sense.

A very different experience from that expected after reading the marketing material provided by VouchedFor as distributed via Moneywise - which in fact is plain misleading and not to be recommended! However, notwithstanding that I am not now in possession of the 2 page 'Free Financial Plans worth £500 each' and no longer expect to be, I did have an enjoyable and productive meeting with Benedict. If I do wish to engage an IFA at any time, now or in the future, Benedict's professionalism and interest in the client put him and his company in pole position for the engagement.

How has Benedict Anderton helped you?

Communicates, listens, advises and talks through the options well. He knows the market and has built a string team.

What could they have done better?

He and the team are proactive in a way but would like them to be more so in terms of looking at opportunities for me.

How has Benedict Anderton helped you?

Ben and his team have given me sound advice for a number of years now. His affable style makes it easy to discuss matters and there is a thoroughness to his work which instils a level of confidence. When issues arise there is always clear detail and direction provided and I've always felt the advice I have been given is genuinely independent.

What could they have done better?

As a front office professional we are always wanting to understand the effects of our interactions with the market. I mentioned a while back that I think it would be extremely good to provide specific quantitative feedback on the performance of one's portfolio based on investment decisions taken by GWM Ltd, for example regarding ISAs and pensions. This would not only provide the client with information illustrating that a decision to move in or out of a fund was justified but would also give GWM Ltd confidence in their market analysis together with a view as to the effectiveness/profitability of those decisions.

How has Benedict Anderton helped you?

Ben is extremely professional and personable, he has helped us deal with a wide range of financial issues through some really challenging times, including sorting out my father finances when he died and helping us fund my mother in a care home. He is passionate about providing an excellent service and has a really dedicated team at Grosvenor.

What could they have done better?

Ben is in demand, so we would love to have more frequent meetings. That said, his team are always on hand to support us and he has always been accessible when required

Grosvenor Wealth Management consolidated my pensions brilliantly and offered me a significantly better mortgage deal than I was able to obtain by applying direct to lenders. Their high levels of expertise and efficiency are complemented by a very friendly approach, and they always have time for me, even though I'm probably one of their 'smaller' clients. Everything was made crystal clear, right from the start, and I feel I now have a long-term adviser who really understands my needs. After a turbulent time in my life, including a divorce and change of career, I now have complete peace of mind as far as my finances are concerned. I'm so glad I found GWM and would recommend them without hesitation.

What could they have done better?

I honestly can't think of a single thing that Grosvenor Wealth Management could do better.

Ben consults very well and comes over as highly professional and trustworthy

What could they have done better?

The proactive contact around reviews is less visible from Ben's team, although they are always very helpful I do feel that the onus is on me to keep on top of things.

Ben has been very helpful giving unbiased advice and making valid suggestions, and been a help when I started my business too. He has put me in contact with some other specialists that have been a great help too.

Ben and his colleagues (particularly Andrew Willis) have lovingly looked after my finances for many years now and have been great in organising pensions for myself and my wife; a remortgage; life insurance and savings plans. This has been quite a difficult job for them given that I work in an industry that is subject to regular and often unexpected upheavals, and my income has not been consistent over the years. I particularly like the personalised service, and the deep understanding of my personal situation and finances as they have changed over the years.
