What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
When Robert took unexpected retirement we were advised by our pension provider to consult a Financial advisor and looked on the internet for local advisors, and that’s how we came across this company.
How has John Stimpson helped you?
John has helped us immensely, in fact we look forward to meeting up with him not just on a professional level but he makes us feel so comfortable he feels like a friend. We honestly couldn’t have done this on our own.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
We didn’t know what to expect as it was all new to us and confusing, we couldn’t have navigated our pension growth on our own and are really happy with the current outcome.
What could they have done better?
We can’t think of anything that needs improving we’re very happy with the service we’ve been given.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My husband and I were looking for professional advice on how best to manage and invest our pension savings. We wanted to make sure our pensions were invested appropriately for our circumstances and future plans, but also wanted the reassurance of having an experienced adviser explain the options available to us and guide us through the decision-making process.
How has John Stimpson helped you?
John has helped us by taking the time to fully understand our circumstances, requirements and future plans before providing clear, professional and tailored advice about our pension investments\. He explained the different options to us in a straightforward way, making what can often be a complicated subject much easier to understand\. We particularly appreciated John’s patience, knowledge and willingness to answer all of our questions. His advice has given us greater confidence that our pension investments are appropriate for our circumstances and future needs, and we feel reassured knowing that we have professional guidance and support.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, we have achieved the outcome we were hoping for. John’s advice has given us confidence that our pension investments are now appropriately aligned with our circumstances and future plans. We have a much clearer understanding of where our money is invested and why, and we feel reassured that we have made informed decisions with the benefit of professional advice. We are very pleased with the outcome in terms of the investments explored and with the support and guidance John has provided throughout the process. We are able to track our investments online and going forward will discuss their progress in annual reviews.
What could they have done better?
There was nothing negative about the service we received from John. The only issue was that our pension provider was slow to respond, which inevitably caused some delays. However, John’s persistence and tenacity ensured that matters continued to move forward and were resolved as quickly as possible. We were very impressed with how proactive he was in following things up and keeping the process on track.
