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

My previous advisor had not been forth coming and I lost confidence in their abilities. In conversations with Lee, I found that he was very personable and genuine and my confidence to place my trust and finance planning ,with Lee, grew.

Lee has consistently demonstrated patience, clarity, and genuine care in all our interactions. In today’s uncertain financial climate, the personal service I’ve received from Lee and his team has been both reassuring and invaluable. He has played a key role in guiding me through important financial decisions, particularly with arranging my pensions and securing a solid financial foundation for my children’s future. Even during turbulent years, Lee’s expertise and calm approach have delivered positive outcomes, and I now feel confident and optimistic about what lies ahead.

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

I wanted advice and guidance regarding withdrawing my company pension pot to enable early retirement. After watching government advertisements warning of the scams and fraudulent so called advisors we were very worried as to how we selected the right advisor for us. We did arrange to meet some advisors and they did not leave us feeling secure or confident with the way they approached what we wanted. We had a recommendation by a family member to use vouched for. When searching for an advisor Lee Giles seemed the perfect match for what we wanted and we arranged to meet him at our home, still feeling a bit nervous about doing this we asked Lee if he was happy for our Son in-law to sit in with us at our first meeting, Lee was more than happy for us to do this.

How has Lee Giles helped you?

Lee has enabled us via his expertise and advice to withdraw our pension pot, he has guided us through the risks and potential benefits of doing this and how best to invest and control spending, also to ensure sufficient funds to live and enjoy our retirement at the same time ensuring we have financial security for longevity of our retirement.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We have seen positive outcomes and are very pleased with the decisions we made.

What could they have done better?

We are very pleased with the excellent advice and work that Lee does for us, we cannot think of anything he could of done better for us..
