Adrian is approachable, trustworthy and very professional . I was left money from my Mother which I wished to invest for income, he guided me through all the options in simple language which I was able to understand, I came to a decision and the returns have been way beyond my expectations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adrian to my family and friends.

Although I have always been fairly good at managing our own finances I had reached the point that I felt I was unable to get a reasonable return on our savings/investments and also required someone with the knowledge of how best to utilise funds for a pension as both my husband and I were approaching retirement age

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.
