What our clients say about us
We value our clients’ opinions and want to ensure that we continue to support them to achieve their financial goals. Results from our client survey in August 2019 show that:
Globe IFA were recommended to me and I have since recommended Michael. He is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and his advice is clear to understand!
A client since 2018
I have had the pleasure of having John Pickles as my advisor for the last 14 years. He has been a great support to me while setting up my investments after my divorce. I felt very comfortable and informed, thanks to John's patience, thorough explanations and reassuring friendliness. I am kept up to date with the progress of my investments, and trust that John will keep an eye as well, advising on changes if necessary. Over the years, John's presence and help has been invaluable.
A client since 2008
I have been a client of Globe IFA since I retired 7 years ago, and my wife also became a client about 4 years ago. We have been impressed with Globe's analysis of our financial and tax positions and their investment advice and recommendations, which have always been tailor-made for our specific circumstances (and have produced good returns over the years).
A client since 2012
I think that the remuneration you will receive is very reasonable indeed given the time, effort and thoughtfulness you have evidently put into considering all aspects of our problems.
A client since 2018
Financial advice from Globe IFA has made us feel confident about our pension and other financial affairs. We have been able to completely trust our adviser to give sound and timely advice, both proactively and in response to our questions. Definitely a safe pair of hands. Angie and Brian Willman.
