“I have had a business relationship with Neil for the past 3 years following a recommendation from a friend. I have found Neil’s considered advice and guidance invaluable in my financial planning.
It is really refreshing to work with someone who is truly interested in their client’s needs, circumstances, and preferences. I have been really impressed with the way that Neil has taken the time to understand where I was at, his depth of knowledge, lateral thinking and his common sense approach. Neil always explains everything thoroughly and I never feel uncomfortable asking questions or expressing an opinion. I am delighted I followed up on the recommendation 3 years ago.”
