AJ Bell great customer services

AJ Bell did a great job of my transition to drawdown pension. The whole process was very smooth.
I'm always especially impressed with the ease and speed of contacting an experienced and knowledgeable customer support person over the phone, usually getting through to someone almost immediately.
