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

Planning my semi retirement as at 61 years old I left full time employment and worked part time for the following 4 years. I then retired at 65.

How has Ben Clapham helped you?

In many ways on long term investments, taking a monthly allowance from my pension and getting any tax refunds eligible for. To summarise long term financial planning.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Yes Ben has given excellent advice and mentoring, I wouldn’t have achieved without him.

What could they have done better?

Nothing everything has been fine Ben has always provided an excellent service.
