Hi Cath, it was good to catch up with you on Thursday. Despite the current market jitters your plans are all intact which is good.

Please provide a brief comment about your experience with Gary

Gary went out of his way, meeting my wife and I super early in the morning. Provided us with clarity in our financial position and confidence with our future plans. Plain talking, easy to understand, not a scary process. Highly recommend.
