Neal and I just wanted to say thank you for all of your efforts with our mortgage over the past couple of months. We had notification of completion today and a cheque which was wonderful and we have already contacted the fireplace and window companies. Thank you for patiently and flexibly working with us and being so understanding of the fact that our lives are so busy during the week. Wishing you all the best for the immediate future.

I must thank you Alan for all your help and it was actually really easy. The help from Amie and yourself meant that this was straight forward with very little work on my part. My sincere thanks for this and for amazing service that we have received. Again, massive thanks for making a task that could have been a headache to be smooth sailing.

The bespoke service that Cheryl provided of visiting our home when it suited us, made it possible for us to incorporate expert financial planning into our busy family life. She made us realise that we could afford school fees for both our children with some financial foresight. The detailed spreadsheets she provided us regarding our finances gave us clarity on how we could achieve our goals.

A consolidated school fees plan with a pension funded by my business provided instant access to funds, solving my cash-flow problems, while the accrued pension lump will enable me to pay the school fees and any outstanding mortgage.
