What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
My husband and I set up a limited company back in 2008 and Richard was recommended by our accountant.
How has Richard Bateman helped you?
Richard has helped enormously. He has given excellent advice and arranged the set up and management of our portfolios. Over a 17 year period, he has put in to place life assurance, critical illness cover, invested monies from the sale of a property and two SIPPs. We are now in a very fortunate position to be able to retire early.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, most definitely.
What could they have done better?
Nothing comes to mind.
