I needed help with pensions and investments.

How has Rodney Collins helped you?

He advised how to get maximum returns on my investment in the most tax efficient way.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I still work part time, and these have not long been set up, so is too early to tell whether it's successful.

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

I contacted Rod to get advice on savings as I felt my current ISAs weren't performing very well.

How has Rodney Collins helped you?

Rod spent a lot of time explaining my options for both my savings and pensions. He did not rush me into any decisions and made all my options very clear.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I have only just sorted out my savings and pensions so it's too early to tell the outcome.

What a pleasure to be able to write about the work of Rod Collins. This man is the consummate professional. He clearly explains the complexities of matters relating to many areas of ones finances and how that capital can be made to work for your benefit. He is very determined that YOU feel confident that what is on offer fits your requirements and your own ideas related to risk assessment. Rod is also a man to trust implicitly. I have found him to be exceedingly loyal. It as has been good to be able to recommend his service to others all of whom have contacted me and said thank you for the introduction. I cannot rate this man and his expertise highly enough. Many thanks Rod
