nothing so far
Mark's reply
I'm glad to have been of help and pleased to hear that I did not come across as 'pushy'. I'm slightly disappointed to only have scored 3/5 on fees, particular as I did not charge an initial fee on the main pension switch. No fee was charged here as a gesture of good will after your previous poor experiences with other advisers.

Mark is incredibly professional and helpful. His very approachable manner makes it a pleasure to deal with him. As a result of the effects of Covid 19 on the stock market we have decided to postpone any activity in this sector for the time being. We would have no hesitation though in recommending Mark.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I had a very confusing portfolio with lots of small investments that had changed over the years and I wanted to sort them out and make them less confusing and easier to understand.
How has Mark Wright helped you?
Mark met with me and we went through all the various accounts and he helped me navigate through what I felt was a muddle. My investments have now been pooled together into 2 clear pathways which I understand more clearly. At our meetings, he took the time to go through all the detail, explaining as we went through each proposal, and answered questions in a way that gave me a clearer picture of what happens moving forward. The whole process was far less stressful than I had originally envisaged.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
It's early days, but everything is going very smoothly so far and I am happy with the advice and service that has been provided.

Mark was clear and concise when talking to me over the phone. He had an engaging manner and listened carefully without interruption when I discussed my requirements. He worked diligently on my behalf to gather all the necessary documentation and information in order to give me a clear explanation of my pension and made recommendations which would benefit me in the long term without once resorting to any hard sell tactics. The calibre of service that I received from Mark was excellent.
