“Thank you so much to Clare at Slaiyburn for supporting me to set up savings and pensions pot my little boy. I wanted to start saving something for his future, making sure that he had some financial security, and also good financial habits from a young age. I knew that just putting money in a savings account wasn’t the best use of my money. But then when I started looking into other investments options, it just baffled me, and was a bit overwhelming. Clare’s so knowledgeable and patient, she took the time to explain all of the different options for me, helped me to make sense of the financial world. My little one now now has an investment savings and pension pot, that’s earning money for him already. Thanks again, I really appreciate how much time you afforded to me, to help me make the right decisions. I’ll be back again when my mortgage is due for renewal.”

“I've been to see other 'financial experts' and in my experience, most of them tell you want to hear, and then try and sell you one of their products. I recently went to see David Shirley at Strategem FP. Not only is extremely knowledgable on a wide range of financial planning aspects, he's also very approachable. I told him my ideas on an investment strategy (which would have given him some fee paying work). David listened, then spent quite some time explaining why my strategy was not the optimal one for me, and provided me with an alternative strategy, which was best for me, although didn't provide him with any fees. It's safe to say that he really does act in the clients' best interest. I will more business people operated like David. Highly recommended.”

“Andrew is extremely professional and well-informed. I found him via reviews and have never regretted the choice for what has been a complicated setting up of a post-divorce annuity. He came twice to the house for meetings which was much appreciated. He is patient, emotionally-intelligent and never pushy; he thinks about what is best for the client. He sources excellent products, explains his thinking; he follows up, is pro-active. While being clear, concise and in control he is always warm and friendly. I appreciated the fact he was prompt to answer queries and also nudged us to complete paperwork, etc. Totally to be recommended.”
