What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I needed a trustworthy financial adviser to help put some pension plans in place. I had previously been the victim of a fraudulent company and had lost some money. Paul was recommended to me and I'm pleased to say he has been brilliant - my investments/pension and now performing well.
How has Paul Taylor helped you?
I received good financial advise and was able to make wise investments. Paul always takes time to explain thoroughly, even though it's clear that I have very little knowledge in this area. My investments are performing well and Paul has been able to advise on other financial matters too.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Investments are doing better than I expected them too.
What could they have done better?
So far I have been pleased with the service and I cannot think of anything that could have been done better.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Coming up to retirement we needed expert advice on how to get the best from my pensions
How has Paul Taylor helped you?
Paul gave clear and concise information that enabled us to make the best choices. If we didn't understand anything, Paul would go over anything again that we were unsure of, until we were comfortable to make a decision.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
It's been just over two years since we invested our money and it's been a bit rocky at times, what with Trump and Brexit but, overall our investments have shown an healthy increase. Far better than we could with the high street banks.
What could they have done better?
We am completely satisfied with the initial and ongoing support Paul is giving us.
