I have told you before that I cannot say anything about Mr Ben Gaulton because we only spoke briefly on the phone. Also, I have decided on a financial advisor now but it isn't somebody recommended by your company. So, please do not ask me again about a review because I cannot give you one in view of these facts. I wish you success for the future and say thank you and good bye. Regards Renate Mader

John was out when I first made contact but was helpfully determined to respond and did so shortly afterwards. We have now spoken another adviser but that was purely from convenience. Our initial enquiries have been answered but we felt that John would hav
