What our clients say
Joshua Morse Marketing: Provocative Innovation for Brands and Products “ I always value Mike’s advice. Not only does he know his stuff, he also communicates it in a way which us mere mortals can understand. I think it is really important to have a high level of professional trust. Equally importantly is someone you can enjoy talking with. Mike fits the bill on both fronts.
Joshua Morse, Gloucester
Mike is a highly focussed and driven individual, but equally someone who will always make time where needed, in order to go that extra mile and provide the personal touch. He has been a great mentor to me over the years for which I owe him a huge thanks and am sincerely grateful for.
Steve Gilpin, Bristol
Mike is a trustworthy, hard-working financial adviser who will get you the best results with a friendly, personable manner. Working through tricky topics, Mike steered us through them, giving us all the facts and allowing us to make a decision. Honest and reliable, we would highly recommend him to people needing independent advice.
