Nice guy - Easy to Talk To

Nice guy, easy to talk to, explained everything in simple terms and was easy to understand. Helped me to firm up on my retirement plans and I left feeling much happier about the retirement process and setting up the annuity when the time comes.

Pension talk

I would not have had a great knowledge of how my pension worked and what my options were but Andy explained everything clearly and was able to answer any question I had. His help and guidance was greatly appreciated!

Pension review

Ben was extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the variety of information required to make an important decision regarding my pension. Although it was a lot of information he covered it in a manner that was easily understood which was brilliant from my point of view. I would definitely recommend Ben as an advisor, and a sunny disposition too!

Great meeting

Great pension review with Jack. Very informative and gave me plenty of food for thought. Jack was excellent at describing complicated concepts in a really straightforward way for me to understand. I also liked all of the tools he had at his disposal to show examples of how my pension might look in 20 years time. Overall a great experience, and would recommend this service to anyone.

From my initial contact with Phoebe who explained the process and sent the appropriate paperwork and kept me informed throughout to Ben who talked me through my pension and what options are available and explained to a complete financial novice how it all works - thank-you both for helping this old man to understand his future a lot clearer.

I recently had a telephone appointment…

I recently had a telephone appointment with Ben Gow to discuss my PIE pension options. I did not know what to expect and was a little nervous and worried at the thought of taking in and understanding all the jargon.
I had no need to be worried after talking to Ben and telling him my concerns and thoughts for the future he carefully listened then explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand. He was, patient, honest, knew his stuff and not biased in any way. By the time we finished the call I felt very reassured and confident knowing that with Bens help and advice not only was I able, I knew I was going to make the right decision for my future.
Thank you Ben from Maureen Taylor.
