Ryan and Jack have offered me clear advice and support with my pension choices. They have always replied to my emails promptly and are making sure that the whole transfer process is going through smoothly. Very reassuring!Posted on james edwards-johnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just signed the service agreement with Humboldt Financial Limited. I would just like to say that without Oliver Canning’s guidance advise and being patient with me, throughout, I wouldn’t have signed. His impeccable support in fully listening to my requirements and wants resulted in an absolutely spot on recommendation plan for me that I couldn’t fault. My financial “condition” was in turmoil and now I feel at ease and confident about my family’s future. Ryan Cook’s and Prakash Thaker’s help with my very important Will planning etc. has also been very helpful. Please can you pass this on the team mentioned above, with my thanks and appreciation. Thanks James Edwards-JohnsonPosted on Cammie RacingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A pretty positive experience overall. Had some difficulty where it appeared my ISA money had vanished and wasn't earning any interest for a few months but was solved once I chased that up. Edit one year later: Changed to 5 stars now I'm seeing results and appreciating the personal touch from my FA..Posted on Jim QuinnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
