How has Alec Carpenter helped you since your last review?

Alec has helped me explore my options after a change in personal circumstances. Discussions with Alec have helped me review my savings pots and move accounts to ensure I get the best interest rate to maximise their potential. During my time working with Alec I have also been able to consolidate my pensions so I have a clearer picture of my retirement fund.
