Highly professional service, but with a personal touch and understanding of our needs. Very impressed!

I really appreciated the time that Natalie took to gain a full understanding of both my requirements and the level of investment experience I had (pretty basic).
I needed someone to guide me through using the pension funds I had built up on my retirement. It was quite an overwhelming situation for me and Natalie was knowledgeable, professional and very empathetic. She was able to answer any queries I had throughout the process with a great deal of credibility which inspired confidence.
I was able to build a trusting relationship with her which was important for me as I needed a fair amount of support to feel comfortable in making the decisions that would support the lifestyle I wanted in my retirement whilst following an ethical investment approach.
Natalie consistently checked that I was comfortable with and understood the decisions I was making and I found the whole process less intimidating because of her approach.
I feel very confident that she will continue to support me well as time goes on.

I am sorry but I have to be honest based on my own experience.

Weeks and Weeks on from discussing a life plan with Andrew Smith I am still waiting as Zurich have contacted me several times regarding information that they have required or was not 100% clear to them in the initial application forwarded on from Andrew.

My initial contact and application with Andrew started in Early January which means over 2.5 months later i still do not have my life insurance in place, which is utterly ridiculous when you consider the fee's Flying Colours charge for their services. I only wish i had done this myself online now, as there is no way on earth it should take 2 and a half months {Still Waiting) to get my life insurance in place.

I found Andrew to be a pleasant guy but at times he came across as inexperienced when asking him questions and the responses were "erm errr i'm not sure i'll have to check that" we're only human i understand that but it does not leave you feeling very confident that the policy is going to be spot on going forward, because after all we are paying alot of money for these over time.

Overall disapointed with the service from flying colours and disapointed that going into 3 months soon my policy is still not in place.

Natalie really listened to me and didn't make me feel stupid for not being massively interested in the nuts and bolts of finance. I feel confident in her guidance.

Mark took the time to explain the various investment risks and to find a strategy that suited my situation. Hannah did a fantastic job sorting the transfer of funds. Many thanks to both - I would highly recommend.

Mike is excellent and has made the process easy and understandable. I feel much more confident dealing with my money now1

Natalie was super professional and extremely knowledgeable. Answered all my questions quickly and provided some great advice. Definitely recommend Flying Colours and in particular Natalie for financial advice.

I previously had seven pension funds and was finding it difficult to manage. Andrew Smith guided me through the whole process of moving all these into one new pension fund. I found Andrew professional and knowledgeable but I never felt pressurised and am very happy with the end result. This could have been a stressful experience, I am happy to say with Andrew I felt no stress what ever

When my pension provider informed me I would need to speak with a financial advisor to find the right product for me to buy an annuity, I was filled with dread, but I could not have been more wrong. My advisor Michael Lennon has exceeded expectation.
Michael is very personable, which puts you at ease, but at the same time extremely professional and nothing was too much trouble.
At our introductory meeting, our ideas for the way forward were not in sync, but when we had our next meeting, it was evident that Michael had listened attentively to everything I had said I wanted from my pension pot. I was delighted and have ultimately ended up with a product that actually exceeds my expectations and I could not be more pleased. There was no hard sell and I will be able to maintain, even enhance, the quality of life I had while I was working. Thank you

Ryan at Flying Colours has been extremely helpful, efficient and informative in advising on, arranging and updating me on my pension transfer which took place just under a year ago. It's early days investment wise but in these volatile times it's great to have friendly and down to earth advice at hand.

Thanks to Simon Stygall for the time he gave us as we decided on the best use of our Guardian's funds. We looked at products, funds but also risk.
Email responses were always prompt.
Simon found initial quotes for us (an Immediate Needs Annuity) and supported us through the application process. When it became clear that our planned purchase was too high he was diligent in ensuring that the value was reduced.
We will be taking more advice from Simon in the near future.

I am very impressed with Michael Lennon’s professionalism. This is the first time I have consulted a financial advisor and was quite nervous and clueless about what to do about a pension transfer. Michael explained everything very clearly and nothing was too much trouble. Any questions I had after our online meetings (three in total) were answered promptly by email even on a Sunday morning!

Michael was extremely patient and explained everything very clearly and was able to answer all my questions in plain English. It made everything really easy and I was able to make an informed decision based on what he told me.

Ryan from Flying Colours was very professional, knowledgeable and explained the process as well as the services and products in a clear and concise way. I would definitely recommend him.

Natalie and Flying Colours offer a professional and attentive service. I received great financial advice and a personalised recommendation. I would definitely recommend Natalie and Flying Colours.

From start to finish both Natalie Donnell and Laura Rainbow-Fearley were the ultimate professionals.
Natalie took time to explain the process and my options to me. She made sure that I was comfortable with the decisions I made which was greatly appreciated given my lack of knowledge of the financial markets and products.
Natalie was extremely professional and a great credit to Flying Colours and I look forward to working with her in the future.

Since my first contact nine months ago I have found Flying Colours and my financial adviser have given me excellent, clear and professional support throughout.

All financial questions and concerns for my retirement planning have been answered promptly which have eased any worries I may have had,

Regular face to face meetings and frequent contact updates from them by phone and email.

Brilliant company will be continuing to use Flying Colours going forward!!

I was greatly reassured by their helpfulness, professionalism and promptness of delivery for my needs. Excellent company.

I first came into contact with Flying Colours in 2019. I’d had a dreadful experience with an incompetent financial adviser and I really needed help to sort out the mess he’d created. It was a horrid situation and I was incredibly stressed by it all. In fact, it was so grim that I eventually had to refer the case to the Ombudsman. Luckily, Flying Colours stepped in to help me resolve the nightmare caused by the previous guy and I am so grateful for their intervention. From my very first contact with them, Flying Colours acted with integrity and professionalism. Every transaction was conducted with courtesy, sensitivity, and transparency. It was a complete contrast and exactly what I needed after my previous harrowing experience. The team at Flying Colours are experienced, knowledgeable and more importantly, they really do care about the clients they work with. I genuinely can’t recommend them enough and I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else for financial advice now. They provide an excellent service and in respect of my own affairs, they’ve gone way over and above to make sure every option was explained clearly, enabling me to make confident decisions about my finances. I’ve had a positive experience with everyone I’ve come into contact with at FC but I’d also add a specific note regarding Ross Evans. He’s the advisor I’ve worked with consistently over the last few years and he’s amazing! I really can’t speak highly enough about him and he has totally restored my faith in the profession (as well as saving my bacon 😉).

Everything about my experience dealing with FC has been great, they are friendly and at the same time slick & professional. Nothing is ever a problem and I've really benefitted from the knowledge they have in finance and investments.
