George and the True Bearing team are still offering the same expert financial planning advice, just under a new name. Welcome to Amber River True Bearing.
Established in 2003, True Bearing became part of the Amber River group in 2020. From its head office in Chorley, Lancashire, and with further offices in Altrincham and Stoke-on-Trent, the team provides tailored financial planning services on pensions, investments, financial protection, inheritance tax planning and much more.
Amber River True Bearing works with more than 7,000 individuals and business clients throughout the North West and beyond. In 2010 it was awarded Chartered status by the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) – an exclusive title given to only a select group of IFA firms that meet the CII’s highest standards of professionalism and capability.
The team is dedicated to providing responsive, supportive and personalised financial advice. In recognising that each client is an individual on their own journey, with their own goals, they strive to use their industry-leading knowledge of financial planning to help them turn their dreams into reality.

I find Mr Sutherland to be professional, knowledgeable, intelligent and with a great range of product information. He obviously knows his stuff as my pension is working well and continues to grow. He communicates well and his bi-annual meetings are fun, chatty, informative and when he leaves, I always feel financially energised.
