What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

Retirement

How has Sam Brueton helped you?

Sam has given us financial advice about pensions and savings. Without his help we would have left it up to the bank and would definitely not had the help and support he has given us or had the financial gain. He is always a phone call away which is reassuring especially through COVID.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

We are pleased with how our investments have been managed especially through the last two very difficult years.
