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

Phased Retirement was something I was considering.

How has Trevor Johnston helped you?

He explained everything in great detail. I am not very good at understanding pensions and Trevor made it simple for me. I now have a clear understanding of what I need.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Absolutely his advice was impartial and he not once made me feel under pressure to see anything from his point of view. All he cared about was what I needed from our consultation.

What could they have done better?

It was a very clear process where everything was for my benefit. There was nothing they could have done better.

Trevor:

Thank you so much for your 5 star review! I'm really pleased to hear that you found the process clear and beneficial. It’s also great to know you now feel confident about your next steps. If you ever have any further questions or need additional guidance in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best as you move forward with your plans!
