What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We were approaching retirement and wanted to ensure we were organising our finances in the best way possible.
How has Gareth Elliott helped you?
Gareth has provided excellent support over the last 5 years. Initially it was in preparation for retirement, and since then he has helped us to make informed decisions about how best to save and invest. In addition to a regular annual review, Gareth is readily available to answer questions and give advice at anytime. An easy to use portal enables secure messaging and Gareth always replies promptly, arranging face-to-face meetings as required. It has been very reassuring having Gareth's expertise and his patience with my many, many questions is greatly appreciated!
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Our investments are performing well at the moment, but more importantly, we are now confident enough not to panic if they dip!
What could they have done better?
Both Gareth and Tammy have made sure we have all the information we need and respond immediately to any queries. Couldn't ask for more.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I wanted to retire at 60, but given I won’t receive my state pension until I’m 67, I was unsure if this was possible. Gareth listened to my reasons and advised how I could make this happen by transferring a pension which I was able to manage myself with Gareth’s support. Two + years later it was the best advice I could have received. My pension is continuing to meet my needs and expectations
How has Gareth Elliott helped you?
Gareth listened to my reasons and advised how I could make this happen. He helped me to look at my options from all angles, the positives and the negatives. At no point was any pressure put on me, or did Gareth tell me what to do. All decisions were made by me. Two+ years after retiring, I can honestly say this support has helped me immensely. My pension has survived ups and downs, mainly the global covid 19 pandemic, and I’m still on course.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
My outcome has been met and then some!!
What could they have done better?
Nothing. Gareth and his staff team go over and beyond their job in supporting their clients. I have recommended Gareth several times and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Wanting to have more personal control over my pension/options.
How has Gareth Elliott helped you?
Gareth gave me advice and information which enabled me to make decisions suitable for me and my situation. There was no pressure and I also received honest and upfront information on the risks involved.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes. After completing the correct questionnaire on my feelings about risk taking Gareth and his team steered me to medium risk investments. This has shown a small increase which I am happy with.
What could they have done better?
Honestly can’t think of anything Gareth could have done differently. He listens to what I want and does his best to deliver with straight forward honesty.
