"I thought it was a good idea to review my current advisor 3 years ago. I approached a couple of independent advisors of which Mark was one of them. Immediately he picked up on the charges being a little high ( which i suspected) and my pension would be better moving to another Pension Provider. He comes across as extremely knowledgably and felt that i could place my trust in his expertise. 3 years on and i am of the same mindset."
