What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
I was retiring and needed advice
How has Nick Callaghan helped you?
Nick has been very helpful with his advice and didn’t come across pushy in anyway what so ever. He put me at ease and ensured I took my time in my decision.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes, now I have started to. Sadly the market took a fall with the Russian war on Ukrainian, however after rebalancing my fund it has now started to grow.
What could they have done better?
Not a lot I’d say.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We needed a mortgage in a hurry to assist with a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy our dream home.
How has Nick Callaghan helped you?
Nick was amazing. He arranged an agreement in principle very quickly and pulled together the info to get our mortgage approved so very quickly - even although I am self employed. Since then he has helped us manage our insurance and pension provision in a transparent and effective way.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Very much so.
What could they have done better?
Nick should update his picture on this site. That pic was definitely a few years ago.
Nick:
Thank you for your lovely review, (I think). I'll update the photo soon, i promise.
