We contacted Jamie as we wanted to seek advice in planning for our retirement. Jamie immediately put us at ease. He spent time to get to know my husband and I so that he could ascertain our dreams and goals for the future. He also used a fact find question system to dig deep into our needs, Consequently a plan was formulated which he explained comprehensively. He aims to find the best solution for the client without any pressure to do business. We found him to be straightforward with a lovely sense of humour and his advice has been extremely useful. Although we are not his clients yet we would have no hesitation taking business to him and his team.

How has Jamie Gordon helped you?

Options clearly laid out and explained, sensible discussion of the options (do nothing, give it away, trusts, whole-of-life insurance, etc).

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes. I decided that my current strategy was right for me.

What could they have done better?

I was very happy with the discussion and the advice, which I doubt could have been improved upon by any further detailed examination.

I have spoken with Jamie for approximately 30 minutes and he is sending me a note reflecting the discussion and what he may be able to provide going forwards. It was an interesting experience and I am pleased that I contacted the vouchedfor site via moneysavingexpert.com. Jamie was understanding of my needs and his straight talking approach was clear and easy to understand. At no time did I feel pressured to make any decision, which is something that I was afraid of before the call. I look forward to receiving the note!

I found it strange I had been assigned Jamie given he is not located very close to where I live. At one stage there was a suggestion I would need to travel to his office for a meeting, which was simply impractical. The initial contact was a bit slower than I expected. However, once this occurred I received a professional service, albeit that I had to spend quite a lot of time completing surveys to provide information. It then took some time to arrange a slot for a follow up call when he and I were both available. His advice on the call was good. I am still waiting for the actual report however.

When my husband and I retired. We had encountered Jamie Gordon and colleagues years before when we were working and they came to talk to my husbands Club about investments and insurance and the new firm they had recently taken over.

Prior to retirement he recommended various investments and then on retirement he has advised and helped us with financial planning.

Yes, apart from low interest rates beyond our control.

What could they have done better?

Sorry, we have no idea as we are content and find the question very difficult to answer.

How has Jamie Gordon helped you?

Jamie understands our needs and requirements, he fits in around our hectic lifestyle and no matter what day of the week we contact him, he always return our queries promptly. We value his advice greatly, and he has never put any pressure on us to invest in any scheme that we weren't comfortable with. Our bi-annual reviews are informative and Jamie will always show us areas where our investments could do better, but also making us aware of the impact of these decisions

What could they have done better?

It's difficult to criticise Jamie, yes we could all do with a better return on our investments, but then that is the nature of investments! Maybe some kind of online investment portal, where we could check our investment on a more regular basis.

How has Jamie Gordon helped you?

I have been client of Lynas Vokes for over 15 years and have found them to be an excellent company. Jamie Gordon has been my advisor throughout . He has always handled my investments with skill and attention . He communicates well and explains the advice he gives very clearly. When giving advice and recommendations he is always allows enough time for there to be a good and robust discussion before any commitment is made. I have every confidence in him and his company that my best interests are being looked after.

What could they have done better?

There is one area where an improvement is needed. Lynas Vokes have a section on their website where you can sign in to look at your total portfolio and in theory get up to date valuations. Unfortunately this is not kept up to date indeed some valuations are quite old. It would be very helpful if this section could be updated on a monthly basis say at the close of business on the last day of each month.

My advisor, from the very beginning of arranging my yearly review, until the completion of the Portfolio Appraisal Statement, handed over to myself at my home, treats me with the most professional manner. The advice I receive from him is always good,as he makes me feel that he has my future finances secure for me. He always understands my situation, he's easy to talk to and explains everything that I'm not sure about, and guides me on decisions I have to take. Without my financial advisor, who I trust implicitly, I wouldn't have a clue, or the comfortable life I have come to enjoy. Thanks Jamie.

Just to stay the easy going and courteous man you are, and to keep the explanations of finance simple for those that find it confusing, like myself.

Jamie has provided me with extremely sound financial advice over the past twenty five years, both for my business's and personally. Whenever I have consulted Jamie regarding financial planning for my business interests, his advice has always proved to be invaluable. Moreover his advice has, on more than one occasion, provided me with greater financial flexibility than I thought possible. Personally, Jamie has guided my pension fund and latterly my retirement plan, and I simply can't fault him.

My wife and i have been with Jamie Gordon of Lynas Vokes Investments Ltd for some 25 years and during that period his knowledge and skills in all aspects of our long term investments, reviewed twice yearly and along with numerous other parts of our portfolio with him have grown to be excellent.

What could they have done better?

His resent internal review and restructuring of his very efficient staff at Lynas Vokes Investments Ltd has now put in place a dedicated and loyal team who will support the good and sound advice offered so for me the guy is forward thinking and addresses any issues prior to a complaint. the real answer is no.

How has Jamie Gordon helped you?

My Adviser Jamie Gordon has been a true stalwart. My late husband dealt with him 20+ years and during his last year Jamie assisted him in ensuring that our Estate was in order and therefore reassured my late husband that I would be 'secure'. On numerous occasions my late husband stated to me that he had full confidence and no doubts that Jamie would look after me re our Estate/finances. Jamie embraces all of the below mentioned - so very easy to talk to but by the same token explains things on 'your' level. Communicates exceptionally well and has all the patience in the World. He works efficiently and acts with tremendous integrity. He fully understands and accepts my nervousness at investment but guides me re my goals and attitude to risk without pressures. My portfolio is regularly assessed. My confidence and understanding of all matters relating to my Estate has improved drastically - through Jamie's knowledge and research. The bonus is the charges are reasonable too. Seems too good to be true? No - I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Jamie Gordon and his wonderful efficient team. The double bonus is that Jamie has carefully selected a team that truly works with him and is there to support us clients in his absence.

Jamie took time to understand me and my wife's circumstances and what we wanted in our retirement; he seem genuinely interested in our plans and ask lots of questions. The solution he presented allowed us to enjoy of retirement, free from the worry and stress of running out of money. We see Jamie once a year to check up on our pension and investments. The staff in the office are friendly and helpful and respond quickly to our telephone calls and enquires.

What could they have done better?

The statements we get, twice a year are unnecessarily complex and could do with simplifying!
