Mr I Taylor, Torquay
“Mike has been our Independent Financial Adviser for almost 7 years, during which time he has advised us on a range of financial investments, including pensions, ISAs/NISAs, collective investments, structured products and bank accounts. Throughout this period, we have been very pleased with Mike’s thorough and thoughtful advice, including the growth in value of the recommended investments, particularly through some volatile financial periods.”

Miss E Collier, Newton Abbot
