Excellent support
We are pleased to have Ellie looking after our affairs and have recommended her to others.

Ellie Sissons
Ellie has been involved in looking after our finances for some years, most of our pensions and investments, originally in a behind the scene capacity then taking full management. We meet Ellie annually for a review and are always impressed with the meticulous preparation she has undertaken. She isn’t just well and thorough prepared but can explain sometimes quite complex schemes in a way that is understandable. She has our implicit trust.

We have always dealt with Robert Sacre since the early 90’s. When the company changed to Fairstone we just carried on. They have always been helpful & when Robert retired Catherine took over our finances. She has been very helpful with regard to our pensions and hopefully will continue to work with us. Thank you

I’m pleased with the outcome of my investments although the fees I pay seem too high.
Fairstone financial advisors
Fairstone have managed my private pension for many years than I care to remember.
My financial advisor is Ellie Sissons . She is extremely nice and of course incredibly knowledgeable about the products Fairstone recommends.
When it comes to financial services, it’s generally a subject that frightens the average person, so having someone like Ellie that will explain everything to you in simplistic and informative terms is reassuring.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Ellie and Fairstone.
