Morris Harding - Bradford
I was referred to Emma Craig at True Bearing by my Chartered Accountant for Independent Financial Advice. Specifically to help with a number of old pensions and advice on a new Investment. Emma was open, honest and professional. She explained the process, the fees and what was achievable and why. Emma asked about my values and ensured my investments were aligned with them and she recommended a pension which was more appropriate for my needs.
I was so happy with the service I referred my mother to Emma for Investment advice. Emma is now our trusted family financial adviser. I would not hesitate to recommend her services again.
Mrs Sarkar - London
I would just like to let you know how much I appreciate John’s support with my investments. As someone who lacks confidence with all financial matters, it is so reassuring to have someone like John, who I can rely on with complete confidence to guide me on such important matters. He always comes with a cheery smile and he is always patient and happy to take time to explain figures and options to me.
I continue to be grateful for the support True Bearing have shown since the death of my husband, Russell, who was an adviser with you before he passed away.
E Brennan - Southport
I wanted to just give you a bit of feedback from a pre-retirement workshop I attended recently, which I then followed up with a 1:1 session with Michael Hawthorne. I thought Michael’s style at both sessions was incredibly professional, friendly and welcoming. Michael was certainly very well versed in all financial matters relating to pensions as well as having a wealth of knowledge around retirement in general and how best to approach that aspect of ones life. His delivery style was very comforting and friendly and he was more than happy to answer any and all questions I had and able to explore topics in more detail as we drilled down into them.
Overall, a great session and follow up meeting and I can say for sure that Michael is most definitely a great asset to your company.
