Some time around 1995 we required the services of a financial advisor regarding pensions, planning for retirement etc. and Lynda has steered us through all these events in our life. First and foremost Lynda is friendly, she also communicates confidently and at all times is professional. Correspondence is always dealt with quickly and efficiently and we have every confidence in the advice she gives us.
