What our clients say
In the six years that Mr McKay has handled my financial affairs, he has been very professional and has a clear understanding of my needs.
Mr Lindsay, Strathaven
There's one word for the advice I received from Alistair Donaldson - Brilliant!
Mr Tomlinson, Cumbernauld
Alistair not only reduced our outgoings, he was able to put better cover in place and we got a four figure sum back for a mortgage policy our bank should have advised us to cancel when we moved home. This was really handy with a baby on the way.
Mr and Mrs Agnew, Cumbernauld
