What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I used Philip Kerley at my last employer before retiring after 24 years with the firm.
How has Phillip Kerley helped you?
Philip is one of the good guys who makes financial decisions easier to make ( financial language can be very confusing) because he relays the information in a language I can understand.....he keeps things as simple as possible.....and even under pressure maintains a good sense of humour..
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes
What could they have done better?
Nothing

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Purchase of new home
How has Phillip Kerley helped you?
He has helped secure suitable life insurance policies for myself and my partner and explained the different options and circumstances. This was very helpful as my partner is a stroke survivor and we did not think we would be able to afford cover for him. Since then I have gone back to ask further questions to understand the terms of my policies, which Phil has been able to explain in a way that I can understand.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes

John, thank you for your review. As you know, i really enjoy the challenges that we have both faced with third parties. It is very reassuring to have your full trust in these matters, especially when i come up with a plan and or solution and your response is "Just get on with it!!' Thats how i like our relationship. Catch up soon and thank you for the review. Kind regards, PhilReview

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I have many many pension schemes and was looking for advise to consolidate them from 14 schemes.
How has Phillip Kerley helped you?
Phil, talked me through the options available ensuring I clearly understood what could be achieved. All of the different schemes were reviewed and recommendations made on which to migrate to a central platform and which to stay as they are. All advise explained to ensure I fully understood the costs and options for investments for the scheme recommended.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
We are still awaiting a number of funds to transfer but can already clearly see all my pensions in the one platform.
What could they have done better?
No not at all.
Phillip:
Lesley, Thank you for your very kind review. Whilst we are still in the process of completing the work, you have been very patient and can see from the amount of paperwork you have received from the product providers, in addition to the initial paperwork received by us, that its not straightforward. We try and turn around paperwork on the same day, however product providers work to a different timescale and many take 10 working days or more to even look at the paperwork sent to them. Regardless of that, you have been brilliant to work with and i am looking forward to our ongoing working relationship. (May be the occasional social drink as well!) Speak soon. Best wishes, Phil
