What our clients say
I am a Chartered Insurance Broker and for the last twelve years of my business life I ran my own Insurance Broking and Financial Services Company.
When I sold the business I required professional advice on the investment of the Capital I had accrued and the funds that were available in my Pension Plan.
I sought the services of a professional firm that was able to offer access to experienced professionals supported by the most up to date technical research and robust investment platforms.
It was important to me that the advice and support was ongoing and the management of my financial affairs would continue to receive the detailed consideration necessary to produce peace of mind and an acceptable return on the funds under management.
FPP have not only delivered what I required but have exceeded the standard of care and consideration that I expected, the attention from the Principal through all the support staff has been of the highest calibre.
FPP have looked after our complete portfolio for some years now and I am very happy to say that we are delighted with the complete service provided by them. Their advice is well thought through and presented in a very professional manner. FPP always provides the upsides and downsides of every financial decision that we make which places us in a unique position to make the best informed decisions for our needs. We highly recommend them.
FPP has provided me with an individually tailored financial management service which I haven’t been able to find elsewhere. Their consultant explains issues in easily understood terms and is always available to provide reassurance and guidance. I have no hesitation in recommending them – and have already introduced close friends – who are still talking to me!
