What our clients say
A meeting was arranged with Tony Larkins of Beacon. In our first meeting Tony helped us to save approx £10,000 just by talking over our issues and by advising us what box to tick?! Excellent advice and service.
“I had read about Beacon’s reputation through the local media, and decided to let them look after my own personal pension affairs. After seeing for myself the excellent work they had done, I chose Beacon to help us set up the company’s Workplace Pension Scheme. They are a great company to do business with and deserving of the accolades they have received”
“Liz and I would both like to thank you very much for your help and advice in managing our finances.
It is important that the financial decisions that we are making as we approach retirement are the correct ones, and we are confident that having your help and advice at this stage in our lives has enabled us to make the right choices about how we look after and plan our finances.
Further, it is also a huge bonus to be able to deal with you personally on a friendly basis and not feel any pressure to take any action that we were not comfortable with. We regard our decision to seek help and advice from Beacon as one that we are very glad to have made and would be pleased to recommend your services to others.”
