I contacted Darren to discuss some options for a few private pensions I am looking to combine and invest. Darren was really easy to talk to and listened to my thoughts and at no time did I feel the slightest bit pressured into making any decisions. Although I'm still looking through my various options, I would definitely recommend speaking to Darren for any investment advice you need.

Darren comes across as a very knowledgeable guy, not at all trying to push you in a sales type of environment. He took time to listen to what I wanted and then provide a really well considered proposal. I work in the financial industry and trusted what I was told and recommend after my own due diligence. When looking at large Pension investments this was a berth of fresh air and would highly recommend Darren's services.

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

Like many, I found myself in a situation with lots of small pots of money, I wanted to consolidate, but What ? How? What would it cost? and was it worth it? Enter Darren who took the time to go go through my finances with me in a way that made me feel confident, then came up with a plan and options that helped me see the wood for the trees.

How has Darren Parker helped you?

Always been at the end of the phone to help guide me when reaching all those little milestones that lead towards retirement. Sometimes to offer help and guidance, sometimes just to help me understand the jargon and implications.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes, but obviously Covid and Lock Down with the accompanying financial turn down there has seen an unexpected impact. Some things are just beyond anyone's control.

What could they have done better?

Perhaps slightly quicker to advise on changes to portfolio may have made a marginal impact.

He has given us confidence that we will be in a good financial position at the point we would like to retire.

Darren was personable from the very first conversation I had with him on the telephone. He suggested different options available to us and left us to decide which we thought would be the best for us to take. He didn't rush us with any decisions that had to be made and was patient. It would be difficult to find something that he could have done better!!

How has Darren Parker helped you?

Darren has been exceptional, he looked at our pensions from our previous employers to see if it was best to amalgamate them together or to leave them as they are at present with annual reviews. Not only have we done pensions with Darren we have also done savings for the future. Darren has looked at how the forecast predicted for the future and how much we could comfortably live on. We have a online portal than we can regularly look at to watch our investments.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Darren has been excellent advising us to do a savings pot as well as a pension forecast plan.
