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

Just to understand my options based on the pensions that I have

How has Paul Richardson helped you?

Paul, explained in detail how I could retire early based on my defined benefit pension coupled with my defined contribution pension. He explained what my current projections meant and what it would take to retire. Extremely helpful and great advice. Both my wife and I felt a lot more positive about our retirement planning.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes

What could they have done better?

Nothing really as it was just a no strings no fee consultation. We both thanked him for his time to listen and explain.
