Gregg is not only super from an financial perspective but he is very welcoming, easy to get along with and invested in to our personal circumstances. He gives great advice that has so far proven to be very worthwhile for our family. Thank you Gregg

Our financial advisor was excellent at explaining the process of obtaining our financial goals and acting upon the financial advice given. Advice was made clear to us using examples and different scenarios. The process was at a pace which suited us and fitted around our changing schedules.

At my annual review Greg Crawford always gives a comprehensive (and simply-understandable!)overview of my situation. For a recent financial transaction IFP gave me all the necessary information and the process was very simple.

My initial experience has been very positive. The staff at IFP have done a good job analysing and explaining to me what my current financial position is and the path forward towards retirement planning. The steps that they outlined are now being taken and, so far, the experience has been exactly as explained to me at the outset. I have not awarded 5 stars because I would like to see how well their investment strategy and our interaction works out over the coming year.

IFP have also been very quick to respond and good to deal with, but one employee in particular (Laura from the Hessle office) went above and beyond recently in helping us to sort a pension move and in hitting some 5th April deadlines. Thanks very much Laura; very much appreciated.

Informed Financial Planning have provided help, advice and support over recent years for which I’ve found extremely valuable and necessary for my overall financial needs. Literally allows me to make Informed decisions and would like to thank all the team, keep up the good work.

As the name suggests I have been kept well informed of my investments and the process of planning my financial release of some of my pension at the appropriate time. Gregg and his team are always knowledgeable and Laura goes above and beyond what is expected of her to ensure she gives you full customer service and always contacts you when she says she will.

I received clear and concise information about my pension and was pleased with the service both from the IFA and from the support team

Joe gave clear advice about my pension, talking through different options in an easy to understand way. He and his assistant Jamie ensured the transfer of my pension from my previous provider was stress free and I was kept fully informed throughout the process.

Darren was very patient, knowlegable and helpful. All options were clearly discussed and explained. He was recommended to me and I would highly recommend him to others.

Very friendly staff who really helped me through the pension process.
Quick responses from any enquiry.
The whole process went really smoothly.
Would strongly recommend the whole team.

I went for advice about changing the long term investment I had had with them to an alternative investment fund. As always, I received good advice, following a series of questions regarding my circumstances and intentions. The team, from receptionists to advisors, are very friendly, understanding and helpful. On this occasion, it was Charlie Hewson who advised me, answered any concerns and organised the transfer. A big thank you to him and the team!

Having met Darren Goodall to discuss pensions drawdown and investment strategies I came away impressed with the depth and breadth of his knowledge, his can do attitude and personable approach. I would be happy to recommend him to a friend.

An excellent service all round. We mainly dealt with Charlie and had help from zoey too. Great knowledge and advice regarding pensions. Cannot fault it at all. If was possibly to give 11 out of 10 we would. Would highly recommend.

The team at Informed Financial Planning deliver a first class service. They are always happy to answer any questions or concerns I may have, and keep me updated on relevant matters. I am confident that they look after my financial affairs very well. Planning is always tailored to my own personal circumstances. I would recommend IFP to anyone seeking a good IFA.

ISP were recommended to us by our accountant.
We found Charlie Hewson and the team to be helpful and efficient, keeping us informed of the investment process at all times.
We particularly liked the fact that we could have face to face meetings rather than a video call which some investment companies insist on.
We receive an e mail summarising our meetings and know we can contact Charlie with any queries at any time.

I have been using IFP for years and found them to be helpful, friendly and professional. Through their expertise I have managed to retire early at 63 years old.
My advisers have always been honest and quick to reply to any queries and accommodating with my lack of skills in use of information technology.
