A really good experience.

Having been a customer for some years now I have always had a fantastic service from BFP. Always courteous and quick to reply, knowledgeable with very good advice. My pension has recently been transferred to a different administration and they have kept me fully up to date with the progress from start to completion. It's really nice when a company contacts you and keeps you in the loop rather than you having to do the chasing. Thank you.

Thorough and In-Depth Service

As always, the service from Burfield is excellent. The investment is performing well, but moreover, the in-depth explanation and individual attention that is given is superb.

Friendly and expert pensions advice

I had approached a number of companies prior to contacting Burfield to get pension advice. I rejected them all as I felt the service wasn’t personalised to my requirements and I doubted whether I would get value for money. I was introduced to Burfield by a friend. I called them to explain how I felt about poor experience with other companies and found that they were entirely understanding of my point of view and willing to help me see what value they could add to my pension requirements before asking me for any fees. My main challenge was how to manage the funds from two legacy defined contribution schemes alongside a current scheme. I had several meetings with David Parker about my retirement aims and how best to meet them. David was approachable and friendly. He patiently listened to me. He presented the range of options available to me including some I hadn’t considered. One of the options I hadn’t considered turned out to be the best option for me. Everything was documented in detail and explained when I wasn’t clear. I was given all the time and space I needed to make my decision on what I wanted to do. David then detailed the whole transaction process to me and the team at Burfield kept me updated on progress with the transaction. I am delighted with the process of dealing with Burfield, and the outcome. I became comfortable with the fees charged and at the end of the process I was happy that they represented value for money when I look at the outcome achieved. I am delighted that Burfield were suggested to me as a company who can provide expert and friendly advice and pension purchasing services. David was a great person to deal with and should I need further pension guidance in the future I will be using Burfield .

Trusted advice is key

Having an On going relationship with the same advisor makes things much easier as they understand the needs and requirements I have. In between reviews the company is always quick to respond to messages on the portal and I like the news updates which I receive on email which I find useful and informative.

Annual Review Meeting (Pensions & Investments)

As per all review meetings with Burfield, again the service received from Ashley was excellent. Friendly and helpful goes without saying. Ashley's knowledge is second to none, clearly he spent a considerable amount of time researching mine and my wife's requirements in retirement. Not only aware of the market and sector benchmarks and trends, but he knows his customer. This was demonstrated in that he answered all my pre-meeting questions, in his own presentation. Further, I had an issue with tax, and this also was explained and resolved. The office was clean and tidy, a very pleasant environment.
Thank you again Burfield, Ashley and the support staff clearly all doing a great job.

Burfield

Burfield, and especially my personal advisors are fantastic - They're stewardship of my accounts has allowed me to retire 10 years earlier than I originally thought a few years ago. Since being with them from 2017 I have valued their advice 100% - May the next 30 years be the same.
