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

I have known Simon for many years and he has always looked after my pensions and investments and written our wills. He has also put our house in trust and power of attorneys for health and finances

How has Simon Mansell helped you?

On this occasion I was in need of proof of my tax free pension sum which I cashed in to help my step daughter to get on the property market. Her solicitor required proof of payment and as I had no paperwork I asked Simon if he could supply this.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

Simon sorted this out within 24hrs with no fuss or hassle and sent me all the documents I requested by email so I could quickly send it over.

What could they have done better?

Nothing, he works to such a high standard and I am always grateful to him and his team.

Simon:

Graham Thank you for such a good review. For an adviser to advise it needs a client to listen - thank you for the privilege of being allowed to help you and your family. Simon

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

I needed some help with the above.

How has Simon Mansell helped you?

I have held investment with Temple Bar for 10 years and more. All have exceeded their benchmarks and so too their customer service. I recently had cause to doubt HMRC and requested help from Temple Bar. Their response was immediate which included drafted templates and calculation. Temple Bar have met and exceeded my expectations.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I’m sure this will flow through.

What could they have done better?

Nothing, always a first class practical response.

Simon:

Ian, you are the ideal client. You listen, take advice and act upon that advice. We have enjoyed working with and and hope for many years to come. Thank you for such a positive review. Regards Simon, Louise and staff.

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

My parents took advice regarding trustees, power of attorney and executors for myself and brother a few years ago - the help and support and wealth of their experience was endless and still is to this day

How has Simon Mansell helped you?

In matters concerning my elderly mother and the ongoing planning related to her well-being, I wish to formally record the following observations: Financial Planning, Estate Planning, Attention to Detail, and Immediate Response Times have all been excellent and without fault. The support and guidance received in these areas have consistently met the highest standards of professionalism and reliability. My family and I consider ourselves privileged to have met with and experienced such excellence. The peace of mind and clarity provided during this important time have been invaluable.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?

I am still getting the help from both and very grateful to this day

What could they have done better?

Nothing- it is the best support I have had for a long time

Simon:

Dear Ann, What can we say but a heartfelt thank you to you and your family? Your kind and generous words mean the world to us. We don’t advertise—our work speaks for itself, and new clients come to us through the experiences and trust of people like you. That makes your testimonial even more meaningful. It’s a comforting thought that someone may read your message, take the same steps you once did, and eventually enjoy the same benefits you’ve described. If your words can help guide even one person toward a better outcome, then you've done something truly special. With sincere gratitude, Simon and Louise
