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

To manage family wealth over different generations and across multiple business interests

How has Kevin Kennard helped you?

Kevin is going to be forming a report with recommendations around spending, selling, investing and IHT. This is going to be key to our thoughts on Kevin. So far he has been giving sound advice on mainly equities in a pension fund.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We are still in a waiting pattern for advice and plans we expect to take.

What could they have done better?

I think Kevin is strong although I did feel the letter we received after our last meeting felt slightly "cookie cutter" and didn't truly reflect what was discussed but also recognise that the main advice report we are still waiting for with plans and next steps.

Kevin:

Dear George, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. I appreciate the request was possibly a little premature and hopefully your overall rating of our services will improve as we deliver the planning we have discussed in our recent meeting. Kind regards, Kevin.
