Fantastic advice for short, medium and long term planning for investments, pensions and inheritance. Danny keeps us fully updated with any changes to our accounts and financial rules/laws that have changed. This has had a major impact for our inheritance planning at the recent annual review.

Danny has been a great help, offering very sound, clear advice, explaining context and what is happening in the market and always responding quickly to requests. It helps that I enjoy speaking to him and he takes a great interest in what's happening in my world and with my family.
