What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Due to divorce, I received 50% of my husbands pension and required help where to invest it.
How has John Howson helped you?
John has helped me a lot, always at the end of the phone to answer any queries I might have. He advised me where to invest my pension pot, and I have full trust in him to keep a close eye on it and making sure it’s still in the right place ongoing.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes I have
What could they have done better?
I find when it comes to pensions etc extremely mind boggling due to the jargon used! I would prefer , if it’s possible, to be advised in an easier way!
