What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Consolidation of a number of pension funds and wanting to get things in the best state for future retirement planning. We were also assisted on a separate matter with a life insurance policy.
How has Callum Aveling helped you?
Pensions can be quite a complicated subject for the non-pension savvy like us, but Callum explained things in a way that was easy to understand without being patronising and checked in at various junctures in the process to ensure we understood . He asked questions to clarify his understanding of our situation and made recommendations based on the options available to us.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes
What could they have done better?
At risk of sounding trite, we don’t think there is anything up to now that could have been done any better. We have always felt in knowledgeable and capable hands.
