Following my recent experience with some financial planning, I would not hesitate in recommending the services of Michael Pinder to family and friends in helping them with their financial affairs. I found Michael to be very helpful and he always conducted himself in a professional manner. He took me through the financial review process, which enabled me to determine my financial needs and goals. I am happy that results to date have exceeded my expectations.

I have recently had cause to review my financial position and in doing so, sought the help of Mr Michael Pinder. At first I was quite daunted at the prospect of the review but as Michael started to explain things to me, I was quickly relaxed about the process. I would be more than pleased in recommending Michael to my friends and colleagues who wish to make similar investments for their future.

Mr Simon Harrison over the last few years has provided us with excellent financial advice and services to consolidate and maximise our investments, making us at all times fully aware of present and proposed financial regulations which would have an impact on our portfolio investments.
He makes himself available either by telephone, email or face to face contact, to answer any questions or clarification we require and also to keep us fully informed on how our investments are proceeding. He often schedules his visits in the early evening to accommodate our busy life style. Mr Harrison is very adept at taking the complicated financial regulations and explaining them in plain English so that there is no misunderstanding on what is involved when investing.
It has been our pleasure in dealing with Mr Harrison and we look forward to working with him for the foreseeable future.

Testimonial for Simon Harrison for his professional pension & savings advice services .
3 years ago when I reached my 65th birthday I had to make a choice of a financial adviser to allow me and my wife Linda to be comfortable to make the correct choice based on trusting that the person would give us the most up to date various equations of pension types.
We consulted 2 other financial advisers before making our choice of Simon Harrison who is a Financial Adviser for Hollycroft Financial Services.
During his initial consultation which took place at our home address he gave me options of retirement pension choices
His advice was to our full expectations and he made us feel comfortable during his full explanations going forward
After our deliberations it took not long to know the we would be hiring him.
During the course of the following 3 years which takes me to my 68th birthday I know that we made the correct choice in Simon because of the healthy position my pension pot is standing at.
My wife Linda has also chosen Simon to invest a lump sum one year ago.
I would not hesitate to recommend Simon to anyone for any financial advice they require.
Bill and Linda Spence, North Shields
The financial advice I have received from Simon has been exemplary. He is always approachable to answer any queries promptly and knowledgeably. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Simon and the service provided through Hollycroft.
