Great customer service

My son and I have used Forester financial services and we are both very happy with the customer service, products and advice we get. Our advisor is Cheryl Phillips and she was quite professional, friendly and helpful during the online appointments.

CTF to ISA

Cheryl was very clear and informative and took time to make sure everything was understood. It was very straightforward to move the child trust fund to an ISA.

Great charitable company

I was so happy that Lee asked to buy cakes from my company to donate to a great charity.
Foresters Financial have been great to deal with and I can't wait to work with them again soon. So glad to have found a company that loves doing so much for charity. Keep up the good work!!

Excellent Financial Advice

My Forester Financial Adviser (Olivia) provides me with comprehensive and easy to understand information, is helpful, not pushy in the slightest (unlike some FAs!) and is an excellent professional looking out for my interests. Highly recommended.

Great experience, no complaints.

With Foresters Financial, I have had nothing but great experiences with the company and my financial advisor, Mark Leach. He has been very professional and easy to work with, along with him being extremely patient. He explains everything in an easy, yet detailed manner and has helped with setting up ISAs and a Lifetime ISA. Zero complaints whatsoever.
