Review for Garnet Ronander
What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser?
My retirement resulted in some investment opportunities.
How has Garnet helped you?
In identifying the best investment opportunities for me and monitoring these.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
The outcome has certainly been the the range of expectations described by Garnet. We all, however, hope for even better outcomes.
What could they have done better?
I did experience a period where face to face advice was given by another (qualified) financial adviser employed by Garnet. To be fair Garnet did consult before this happened, and I agreed, although the service during this period was satisfactory, it didn’t feel as special.

Review for Harry Roache
What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a financial adviser?
Initially, it was when we were looking for a mortgage. Following which he sorted out our health insurances and provided other advice.
How has Harry helped you?
He listened to exactly what we wanted, and gave us various options which he explained clearly and precisely. He then gave us time to reflect and consider our options, before finalising our requests. Nothing has been too much trouble for him, and he has been most responsive to our many enquiries.
Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Absolutely. Our mortgage is exactly what we wanted, and we feel reassured with the insurance policies we now have in place. We have peace of mind.
What could they have done better?
We can’t think of anything he good have done better!
