Darren is always helpful and knows his business well but always speaks at a level that he knows we’re happy with. Nevertheless if we don’t understand anything he is always anxious to clarify until we have a full grasp of the situation. He always seems to know what we are looking to do next and that comes from him working with us for a good number of years.

IFP have been great. They grasped my requirements easily and constructed a comprehensive package of measures to meet my demands. They have been very accessible and reactive to the numerous changes that my personal circumstances have necessitated over the last few years. They are flexible and extremely knowledgable.
I highly recommend them.

Josh at Informed Financial Planning was recommended by an accountant, and so I contacted the Hessel office where he works.
From the very start the level of contact and speed of response was excellent from him and the team.
Following an initial phone call, we had meetings via Zoom, due to the COVID restrictions. These worked extremely well and saved a journey of 150 miles which was welcomed as was the flexibility for an early evening meeting.
Confirmation of my written instructions were provided and they commenced their work.
An interactive and secure portal allowed for documents and financial details to be uploaded removing the risks of posting items or sending by email which I thought was positive.
The financial advice I sought was then provided in a comprehensive report detailing several options, each presented in a clear manner.
In addition Josh presented the details to explain the content fully, the impact and considerations for each of the suggested options which allowed discussions on each.
I really appreciated that level of support and advice which made all the difference.
As a result of the advice provided I am now able to make a much better decision about my financial future and spending, which will include a return to Informed Financial Planning and with Josh who I would recommend.

Despite Covid regs, our ongoing relationship with Darren continues to give us a great customer experience. His easy going, yet professional manner is reassuring and expert, but above all enjoyable and makes us feel extremely confident in our choice of provider.

I have been a client of IFP for well over 10 years following a recommendation by my Accountant.
My Advisor is Joe Sanders and Joe is always very professional and has a very friendly manner. His views are considered and balanced and always appropriate for my financial aims. We have regular six monthly strategy reviews and it is always a pleasure and always very interesting to talk with Joe. IFP keep 'ahead of the game' and I could not be more satisfied. Full marks from me for the whole team at IFP.

We had our regular (six-monthly) review with our IFP adviser, Joe. As usual, it was friendly and informative. I'm not financially sophisticated, but Joe explains clearly what is happening with our pensions, what changes we may wish to consider in the future, and answers all our questions. My husband's are savvy (he's an accountant) whereas mine are rather simple. Joe's personal skills are such that I always understand the answers and my husband never feels patronised. In addition, when we were setting up our pensions. Joe worked hard to ensure my ethical values were respected in the investments made. I would recommend IFP to anyone looking for independent, well-informed and personable guides to financial planning.

I contacted Informed Financial Planning for advice regarding investment of my pension on retirement from full time working. The proposal produced for me by one of their senior financial advisors was clearly explained to me, including any fees for administration of my investments. Since then, any queries I may have had have been answered promptly and professionally. I have no hesitation in recommending Informed Financial Planning for retirement planning.

I am writing to express my thanks for recent work undertaken on my behalf in transferring funds from a very difficult company to my account in Informed Financial Planning. I am grateful for all the work done to achieve this goal through my financial planner Darren Goodall but especially his PA Anita Gardham who ground through many long phone calls to execute this work on my behalf. I am writing this to recommend a service which I felt went the extra mile to achieve its goal.

I recently approached IFP for some advice with a couple of investments I was considering and also with some changes to my private pension. Gregg quickly gained an understanding of exactly what I was trying to achieve to recommend the best investments that suited my financial circumstances. He was very knowledgeable, efficient and proactive throughout the process which made it hassle free and seamless. I feel in very safe hands with IFP and would highly recommend them.
