Bespoke in Manchester

“Gary Hazelwood at Cheetham Jackson Glossop has been our IFA since 2018. He has consistently provided prompt, reliable and professional advice upon which we've based our financial planning. He's also a very likeable chap in person - a pleasure to deal with. I'd say Gary's advice has been pivotal in giving us the confidence to end FT work early and enjoy the results whilst we have health and time to indulge our interests.”

“I’ve never been particularly interested in financial matters, but my husband insisted that I join him to meet with the Wetherall’s team a few years ago when we chose them to help us with our financial planning, and although I hate to admit it, I am pleased to say that for once he was right! James, Kate and Delphine, are wonderful to work with, and make the topic of financial planning a lot more understandable and interesting than I had thought possible. They took the time to get to know us, our family, as well as our financial status and ambitions, and they then set about working closely with us on a plan to get our finances in good order and ready for our future retirement. They have really taken great care of us, and the plan is working well. I highly recommend working with this excellent team!”

“We have been a client of Appogee from the very beginning and always had good consistent service. All the associates we have dealt with have been friendly, curteous and professional . We would not hesitate to recommend this company.”

“We have been clients of Taylor and Taylor for the last 4 years. Ross and the team have been fantastic in helping us invest for our retirement. They take the time to really get to know you and your whole family's wishes for the future, then put in place a plan to make it happen. Choosing an advisor to invest your savings can be a daunting experience, so I can't recommend T&T enough. Everyone at Taylor and Taylor has been so helpful and they explain every stage of each investment and keep us well informed.”

“I have received professional and knowledgeable advice from Capstone but with such a friendly and personable manner that I look forward to seeing my financial adviser. He has produced a financial plan that projects the next 5 and 10 years with a presentation that was both useful and understandable. The office staff are also friendly and cheerful and I am always made to feel welcome with a cup of tea etc. I am totally satisfied with the advice given and cannot praise Capstone highly enough.”

“Philip Kemp has financial experience spanning many years in the industry. I found him via a google seach for advisers local to me, and he has proved to be a font of knowledge, presented in a manner that us lay people, in terms of financial issues, can readily understand. Philip's duty of care is second to none and having helped with an old pension that now will provide growth after being dormant for many years, we are moving on to investing a family legacy I have inherited with a view of ensuring my son gets full and proper benifit on my demise, and benifits myself in retirement. Would I recommed him to others, ABSOLUTLY, with Phillip you get an expert and a friend,”

“Highly recommend Black and Gold Financial Services, me and my fiancé were recommended here by my grandma who had a very good experience 10 years ago, safe to say it’s only gone uphill and we will be referring all our friends and family to use them too. We are first time buys who had absolutely no idea what to do. Bobby and Lauren held our hands through the whole process, handled our questions perfectly and went out their way to ensure that we understood and were happy with every choice made. They had others such as Michael who helped us with the insurance side of things which was very helpful and comforting! At no point did we feel lost or like we had do figure it out ourselves. We are now enjoying decorating our brand new home alongside an adorable welcome package from them! Service couldn’t have been smoother and they handle anything that comes their way, thank you very much to the team at Black and Gold Financial Services!”

“As Bolting Darts Ltd we've been using Accountancy4You services for over 10 years. Always great and professional service with a human touch. A few years back we were checked by HMRC - they do it randomly to companies at time to time and the outcome was - no problem. Accountancy4You keeps all the books as they should be kept and sorted any HMRC enquires. So if you need a professional Chartered Accountant - they are here for you.”

“I initially reached out to InterTax for support with my tax return and at very short notice, Maja jumped in to action! Within 48 hours all of my questions had been answered, my tax return sent to me for approval and my company had been set up on their portal as a new customer. I honestly couldn't believe the speed at which everything was taken care of and the relief at knowing it had been handled by experts was immense. Thank you Anna and Maja!”

“These guys are amazing. No matter your needs, they are professional , responsive, very helpful, nothing to much trouble. Stephen Gair looked after both my company accounts and personal tax and everything was done when it should have been, removed the worry and it isn't an expensive service”

“Adrian did a great job fitting my three doors. He was methodical, tidy and has a caring attitude to his work. I would without a doubt get him to do further work for me in the future.”

“I had a chain that needed a new bolt ring. It was done whilst I waited and at a very good price. Great service and lovely, friendly staff. Would highly recommend.”

“Rosie Kent is my favourite jeweller and go to every time I want a new piece to update my collection. Her collections are always beautiful and thoughtfully designed making it very hard choosing which piece to get because I want them all. Alongside her seasonal collections Rosie Kent also works on bespoke projects and I used this service when getting my wedding ring designed and made by her. Not only is she a very talented designer she is also great at listening to what you need so know that your project with her will be a special experience!”

“Lovely experience designing a ring from my mums and grandma’s jewellery. The care and attention to detail was excellent. I am so pleased with the ring it’s beautiful. Thank you to Ian and the team I cannot recommend their family business enough.”

“Would recommend this shop to anyone. It is a great jewellers. Have been to another place the owner had before this shop to find my granddaughter a bracket and got a perfect 1 for her that has a butterfly on it absolutely perfect. So when my daughter wanted a bracelet for her birthday then we wanted to go to the same jewellers so we went to his new place and it was definitely worth the trip. She looked at some that were on display then asked to look at a couple and was shown them and got passed the 2 she liked too have a closer look. She chose 1 of them so both times I've been they've had exactly what I have wanted.”

“Amazing service and outstanding product delivery. Jamal took a simple and basic conceptual image of a gold ring I had in mind and transformed it into reality. I was kept up to date on the development process from start to finish which was highly appreciated. The product outcome was highly accurate, expertly crafted and incredibly beautiful, to the point it exceeded my expectations and then some. Highly recommend this establishment for its above and beyond service, elite product selection and quality.”

“I cannot thank these guys enough! They have created the most perfect engagement and wedding ring set for me for my 10 year anniversary. Nothing is too much trouble for them, the coffee is great and is ALWAYS served with a tray of chocolates! A warm, welcoming, friending service every time, and they even polished my Rolex for FREE! Highly recommended xxx”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! My fiancé got my engagement ring here, and we also chose this jeweler for our wedding bands. From the very beginning, the customer service has been absolutely wonderful—warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. Alia made the process feel so special and stress-free, taking the time to answer our questions and help us find pieces that perfectly fit our style. The quality of the rings is stunning. Beyond the beautiful jewelry, it was the lovely customer service that made this experience unforgettable. We’re so grateful to have found a place we can trust for such meaningful pieces. Thank you so much Alia.”

“I initially came across Lily Arkwright online while searching for a wedding ring for my wife. After seeing a ring I liked, I booked an appointment at the Manchester branch. I had a 15-20 minute meeting with Klaudia who was incredibly helpful in providing information on the different types of diamond rings available and I placed my order. The timescales were a little tight before the wedding and still the ring arrived with plenty of time to spare and I was constantly updated on the progress of the order. The ring was exactly as expected and my wife loved it. We revisited the branch after the wedding for a small size adjustment free of charge and also decided to have the ring engraved. Again, the service was seamless and the ring was delivered again, much earlier than the estimated arrival date. If anyone is considering a ring for a special occasion, I cannot recommend Lily Arkwright enough. Seamless from start to finish and incredible customer service - a flawless experience.”

“The team are wonderful. Had a really great experience, the turnaround was really quick & really reasonably priced. Grateful to have found a good independent jewellers!”

“This is the second time I’ve taken jewellery to Diadem for repair. Customer service is excellent, with work completed quickly and for a fair price. I’m particularly happy with today’s repair, which was done on the spot so I can wear my favourite earrings for Christmas.”

“I purchased the silver nugget pendant on the oxidised silver chain. The quality is outstanding as always. My wife will be delighted with her Christmas present. I have purchased numerous items from Eve including our engagement and wedding rings. I cannot recommend highly enough, the service is excellent and postage was very efficient.The jewellery is always of the highest quality. I will definitely be back for more!”

“I had my oven cleaned today with BH oven cleaning. My oven is a neff with a slide and hide door. I tried once to remove the door myself and nearly broke my wrist in the process! I therefore got someone out to do it and they did an amazing job. The oven looks like it is new and they did the job in just over an hour . Thank you I would definitely recommend”

“Mark and Vicky looked after my brother since late 2021 when he couldn't manage on his own. As well has cleaning his home they washed his clothing, bedding etc. On a more recent occasion when my brother had a fall prior to going into a care home they carried out a deep clean of the accommodation and the house clearance after giving notice of his tenancy agreement. In addition they did his shopping, providing receipts for every purchase they made. Living remotely they were a god send, as I was unable to carry out the support they provided and don’t know what I’d have done without them. Mark and Vicky are reliable, trustworthy and worked to a high standard. Alan”

We will definitely be returning highly recommended!!”

“We were so excited for our wedding flowers in the lead up to the wedding and they did not disappoint! All communication with Hollie running up to the day was a breeze, even when MOB and MOG couldn't decide what colours they wanted their corsages to be! Nothing was a problem. I've also never seen such an array of flower species all in one bundle before! Hollie also managed to source tulips, in August! (Dutch background, so this was incredible), which we never expected to be possible. Hollie was with us bright and early on the day, gave clear instructions, and set up the venue perfectly. The flowers were so beautiful, we can't thank her enough! We hope to return to Hollie again one day. Huge thank you Jan & Kate Harmens”
