I have found Lindsay most helpful in my dealings with him. To date he has given me excellent advice and when I have been in touch with him with any queries or concerns he has explained the position to me in very simple language leaving me in no doubt about any decisions I need to make. He has also responded promptly to any questions I may have had.

Lindsay was very good at describing the options available to me and my wife which was exactly what I needed. I had already done some pensions planning of my own but I needed a professional sense-check of my thinking and to make sure I was considering all the relevant issues in terms of retirement data and future pension contributions. Lindsay did more than this and was able to describe other options we had not considered. Now we feel confident that we know what our next steps are as I approach retirement.

What could they have done better?

There is nothing I can think of.

Lindsay helped my wife and I review and refocus our ISA and pension funds portfolio, which had been built up over a number of years, to better reflect our current financial requirements. His approach has been practical and honest and has been a refreshing change from our mixed experiences with some 'national' financial institutions. He understood our goals and was very clear with regards to cost and his charges and certainly offers excellent value for money from our perspective.

How has Lindsay Lockett helped you?

Lindsay has provided me with advice and guidance for a number of years and has been especially helpful in the financial planning and implementation of my recent retirement which is now all in place, I would strongly recommend the value of his services which have always been totally transparent and very good value. My own view is that competent financial advice is essential prior to and approaching retirement particularly in respect of the Chancellors increasing tax demands upon the pensionable community over the next few years.

What could they have done better?

The service was of such a standard that no improvement could be identified.

How has Lindsay Lockett helped you?

First he listens to what I want from investments, pension etc. He uses spread sheets and projections with my information in them to clearly explain and demonstrate my options and their pros and cons. I have always found him to be honest about the variability of markets and risk/benefit assessments of any investments we discuss. I have always clearly understood how his payment and commission works and been clear about what and how he is paid as a result of managing my portfolio. I find him to be very knowledgeable about financial services so able to tailor the management of my money to suit me. He has been particularly helpful with my retirement planning so I was able to retire last year. Put simply, I feel he is 'on my side' when reviewing my investments and is keen to find the best investments for me which get me the best returns but don't exceed my approach to risk. We review my investments at least annually but normally twice a year depending on how much change is going on for me. It can be more frequent at times when my circumstances are changing e.g. house sale, retirement etc.

What could they have done better?

Difficult to say - I am generally happy with his approach to my investments

I believe that professional assistance in many areas of life is a sensible approach to progress. in order to use a professional, it is essential to trust in that person and their services. This usually develops over time, as in my case with Lindsay Lockett. I do have trust in Lindsay and his advice proffered over the years has been sensible, well structured and with well explained caveats. I have recommended Lindsay to other professionals who have given me very satisfactory feedback which re-inforces the "trust' requirement.

I felt totally comfortable with both Lindsey and his advice; he is very knowledgable and concise in his explanations and recommendations. Our business together was very successful and left me in a better financial position than I was in before; especially during these uncertain times. His charges were very reasonable, and by taking commission that was previously going back to the investment company, it cost me nothing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lyndsay to anyone requiring financial advise.
