We initially looked for a finacial adviser to help us put life insurance policies into trust.

Ben has helped us to complete the paperwork to put our life insurance policies into trust and he has also helped us invest savings for ourselves and our children and to also set up pension investments for the future.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, our investments have given us the returns we hoped for at the risk level we were comfortable with.
