What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
Initially I was looking for advice regarding a small pension that I wanted to transfer to a new company as I wasn't happy where it was. I found Ross on the Internet and gave him a call. Long story short, Ross found the perfect solution and I have been extremely happy with the company Ross found for me.
How has Ross Crake helped you?
That initial contact was four years ago and since the Ross has given me sound advice on numerous topics, most recently regarding inheritance tax planning.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
In each case Ross has provided sound advice which has always delivered the outcome sought.
What could they have done better?
In my opinion - nothing! Ross is very approachable, highly responsive and communicative. His customer service is second to none and his financial knowledge is exceptional.
