What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I have recently reached retirement age and needed to sort out several pension pots.
How has Robert Butcher helped you?
Robert explained all of the options in an understandable 'laymans' language which enable me to make decisions. He was able to explain clearly the implications of different scenarios which was specific to our needs. He then proceeded to deal with the pension companies to put all amounts in one pot and I was updated at every stage. He understood our attitude to risk and reward.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I am happy with the current situation and feel happy that we can call on him as and when.
What could they have done better?
I am happy.
