What our clients say
Graham Scott -Independent Financial Advisor arranged my house and contents insurance several months ago. I experienced major roof damage due to recent storms. The insurance company that Graham identified with a competitive quote have been superb - all resolved in a matter of two weeks - roof repaired and cheque in the post. Can't thank you enough Graham!!!
Gavin Rae, Oban
We recently moved house and Graham was able to arrange our new mortgage, a life policy to cover us both around the mortgage and even our new home and belongings with a home insurance policy. As he comes to us when it suits me, the whole process was no hassle at all.
Mr Watson,, Tarbert
When I retired and needed advice on how to get an income from my savings Graham was able to recommend a suitable product to get the income I needed to top up my pension and he visits me regularly to keep me informed on how my investment is doing.
Mrs Logan,, Oban
