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:
For years I have enjoyed sound prudent insightful advice and guidance from Tom that has consistently kept me ahead of the market and my peers. Additionally, when needed, extra relevant and timely expertise has been delivered at huge value and speed. In a world where everybody promises, these guys stand head and shoulders amongst all the noise by delivering results and desired outcomes without fail.

I have no hesitation in recommending Globe IFA. They guided us through the SIPP process many years ago, and have continued to help map out our financial journey ever since - something that we’d have never managed alone and that has shaped our financial future.
A client since 2000
Highly recommended: very efficient, easy to understand personal service without being overly complicated in a complex and sensitive subject.
A client since 1999
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.

Thank you. I have recommended you to a couple of other friends.
