What our clients say
Having known Darren for a number of years, my wife and I have always been very comfortable with him handling our finances. He understands our situation and our attitude to risk. He is always prepared to spend time explaining things to us and listens to our thoughts and then acts on them. With his advice, both my wife and I have been able to take early retirement. As far as we are concerned, Darren and his team have given us the best advice possible.
David, Lancashire
With Darren's help I have been able to retire early and be financially secure to enjoy my retirement. Good advice from Darren means I have enough income for a long and happy retirement.
Mike, Cheshire
Darren knows what he is talking about, explains things clearly and willingly answers questions. He is easy to get on with, takes time during his visit and accepts our decisions regarding risk. His office staff are equally helpful.
Val, Avon
Darren was a fantastic help and support in a difficult personal time when my circumstances had radically changed. He offered prompt advice and always got back to me when requested. I have recommended him to family and friends alike due to the excellent service I received.
Lisa, South Yorkshire
Darren's advice is free of jargon; it is forthright and it is balanced. I have identified integrity as his most impressive feature and it is this attribute that reinforces trust and confidence in his expertise. As a journalist who spent the latter part of his career at 'The Financial Times', I do have an appreciation of financial matters but in the areas of investment and pensions (the areas in which Darren has acted in my interest) I am grateful for his practical and positive solutions. Notably, his investigations led to a substantially increased income on a private pension pot.
Peter, Lancashire
I have been with Indigo for many years and always received the most prompt and courteous service from the office in general and Darren in particular. I have received excellent advice in all areas and very valuable assistance, particularly when dealing with HMRC even though this is not his speciality. The quality of the advice is unquestionable and the costs more than reasonable. I would not hesitate to recommend Darren to anyone needing an expert opinion on all financial matters. I think he's brilliant!
Deborah, Lancashire
Darren understands where I want to be and how difficult things are presently. He therefore doesn't push products or changes to my financial commitments when they wouldn't fit. He ensured that protections for my family are in place and that my long-term plans are still relevant. Darren constantly reviews my attitude to risk and the way technology has been embraced provides confidence that Indigo wish to improve and challenge themselves. I would recommend Darren to my friends and acquaintances.
Frank, West Yorkshire
I started working with Darren 4 years ago after being recommended by a friend. He took three pension funds I had with different banks and brought them under one umbrella, releasing a 25% lump sum along the way, which was just what I wanted to go towards paying down our remaining mortgage. He also invested the balance into a drawdown pension fund. Since then he has guided us into other investments we wanted to be in, after a thorough set of discussions to find our attitude to risk. He is through and advises us as he sees necessary while allowing us to make the final decisions based on facts. I recommended Darren and Indigo to other family members and they have found his advice invaluable. His office staff are professional and very friendly. Whatever your concerns are, talk to Darren and Indigo for the proper advice.
Denis, Lancashire
Darren explains his plans well. This has given my wife and I full confidence in what he is doing for us. He is also not afraid to tell me when he feels that I am not making the right decision.
Malcolm, Lancashire
I started off with a pile of papers that I did not know what to do with to get the right pension. After 3 months, Darren and his team at Indigo managed to get together a pension that I was happy with.
Graham, Lancashire
