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:

Highly recommended: very efficient, easy to understand personal service without being overly complicated in a complex and sensitive subject.


Martin Frederick Bramley, Wanborough Near Guildford

A client since 1999

Globe IFA were recommended to me and I have since recommended Michael. He is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and his advice is clear to understand!


Charlotte Wates, West London (Hanwell)

A client since 2018

Working with my IFA at Globe has certainly developed my understanding of many aspects of investment, whether that be the complicated "rules" around pensions or the strategies available for protection of my other investments against Inheritance Tax. I now actually feel safe that I am getting the best advice for my needs and not the benefit of the investment industry.


Neale Brooks, Reading

A client since 2010

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.


Jeremy Chadwick, Teddington

A client since 2000

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.
