What our clients say
Graeme explained his financial advice in a way that was easy for a novice like me to understand.
I also get regular updates as to my investments are being managed.
Graeme Inglis's welcome visits bring both me and my wife total confidence in his ability and he always leaves us believing that he is acting in our best interests. This has not being our experience with some previous financial advisers and, as we are both now pensioners, we have encountered quite a few in our
time.
He has the rare ability to impart sophisticated financial information in terms we can understand and without ever making us feel either inadequate or "talked down to."
Graeme was very professional at all the times we met. Initially he listened to me then went away and came
up with a financial plan/investments. He explained everything in easy language for me to understand and did not make me feel stupid as the financial markets/investments are not my thing and this was the first time I
was the first time I was investing a large sum of money.
Great advice and good communication
I have known Graeme for a number of years and prior to him starting his own business. As such he was
already aware of my general situation but on our first meeting after he started up on is own he was very
professional and conducted an overall review and revisited my attitude to risk before making
recommendations which were followed up in writing. He is very good at his job, assesses situations well, is totally trustworthy, and can be relied upon to give good "non pushy" advice after full research. In addition he
is a very friendly and approachable guy.
As a retired N.H.S employee, the pensions advice I used to get was supplied through the Health Board,however when the firm looking after this decided that it was no longer viable to carry on with the service I was recommended to Create and Prosper where I was put in touch with Mr Inglis. Mr Inglis
contacted myself and arranged to come to my home and go over all my needs and requirements. At the appointed time Mr Inglis appeared on time and very soon got to know all about my wife and myself and our
financial situation,this was carried out in a very courteous and efficient manner. Mr Inglis spent a good amount of time with us and explained every thing to us and gave us advice there and then which was quickly
followed up by e-mail and a complete financial report. Subsequently he has kept in touch with us and has followed up on any progress and/or updates to our requirements.
Mr Inglis is punctual, courteous, attentive and explains everything in clear and easy to understand language and will go the extra mile to be as helpful as possible.
