What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Approaching 55 I wanted to explore my options for early retirement on a couple of pensions and to also review existing investments, and to look at maximizing my tax relief.
How has Chris Hough helped you?
Chris is super helpful, very proactive in his approach and is more than happy to go the extra mile. He migrated two old not very good pension pots into a new one which will give real growth.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Absolutely brilliant.
What could they have done better?
Found me sooner!!

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I started to look for advice as my income was rising and I knew I could be more efficient in making retirement provisions. Chris came highly recommended so after searching for local FA's, I contacted Chris.
How has Chris Hough helped you?
Chris helped me make an informed decision on how best to manage my income. He set out a series of options for me. Making changes to suit the monthly income I required was no hassle for him. I fully understand the product offered, all questions were answered clearly and I am ultimately in a position where I now feel more confident about my retirement income.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Very much so. The service was great. We met face to face over several meetings to ensure all my questions were answered. I have a plan now and feel much better knowing I have made smart choices for my future self.
What could they have done better?
I honestly don't know how the service could have been improved. I couldn't fault Chris's approach. Very professional, knowledgable, and approachable.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Having accumulated a few workplace Pensions & was unsure how they were performing, thought it was time (and best) to seek expert advice to give me some sort of projection. I needed to understand, which Pensions needed to consolidated (without incurring costs) & which to leave alone as still performing.
How has Chris Hough helped you?
Chris has helped me greatly in the understanding of ALL aspects of Pensions & Pension Planning, he has way of explaining (jargon free) simply and methodically in a way I could understand Chris has actively approached my past Companies & transferred/consolidated Pensions into Retirement Plan, I now have vision of how they performing. His personable & pleasant approach, backed up with a huge knowledge of Finance has convinced me that this was a good move to seek his advice.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, at this stage, as I now have Retirement Savings Plan I can easily view on-line & support as & when needed.
What could they have done better?
There is nothing I can see that he could have done better at this stage & am extremely happy with his overall service.
