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:
Very impressed with our investments' performance, thank you - wish you had been our adviser years ago.
A client since 2019
I was introduced to Tom when I first started out in my career. As my situation and needs have changed Tom has tailored his advice, always willing to take the time to explain and meet with me face to face to discuss my needs. I have 100% trust and confidence that my interests are put first and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom or his colleagues.
A client since 2008
I have relied on Dave Holland and John Pickles for sound advice on my changing financial circumstances for many years. They always take time to discuss and understand my current situation at any time. I couldn't be happier with my sense of financial security this relationship has provided me.
A client since 1999
We have been with Globe now for more than 20 years, starting with AVC's, building up and ISA portfolio and finally now managing our pension arrangements. In every case, they have taken great care in ensuring that our attitude to risk was carefully managed and this has been reflected in the performance of our investments. Their very professional approach to the complex issues involved means that we would have no hesitation in recommending them to any new potential investors.
