Financial Advice

Fabulous experience with Darren from IFP!
I thought I knew a thing or 2 about finance, but my knowledge doesn't come close to Darren's. His advice and guidance has been invaluable! No 'one size fits all', but rather taking the time to understand our individual circumstances.
On top of this - a thoroughly nice guy!
Cannot recommend Darren and IFP highly enough!
Thank you!

Darren Goodall - great pension advice

With various pension pots between us my hubby and I contacted IFP after doing some internet research and reading great reviews about Darren Goodall.
From our initial free meeting we knew that Darren was the man for us, he is a lovely chap and very knowledgeable. So far he has streamlined our pots, explained every action in detail and now we have peace of mind leading up to our retirement in a couple of years.
Our relationship with Darren will be ongoing as he will be managing our investments.
They are a really great team at IFP including Charlie, (our initial contact), Jacob, Darren and Caitlin his PA.
Would highly recommend.
