Having taken several months choosing an IFA to guide me through the process of tidying up my financial affairs in preparation for retirement, I was not prepared for the news that the person I chose was about to emigrate to take up a lucrative position in Hong Kong.
To make matters worst it came at a time when the financial world started its melt down significantly affecting my pension funds.
However there was some good news, my IFA introduced me to Craig who after several meetings provided me with the calm methodical approach required to guide me to safer financial waters and taking control of my affairs once more.
Craig’s approach was to establish early on what I wanted to achieve in terms of pension provisioning plus financial security for my family and throughout the process was able to provide me with several options that would provide this and clearly illustrating both the advantages and disadvantages of each scheme.
This made the decision making relatively easy and I am now 3 months away from retirement and with Craig’s help I am more confident about the decisions I have taken plus those that need to be taken in the near future.
For anyone entering the scary world of pensions, financial planning or just plain related advice, I would have every confidence in recommending Craig for his professional and caring approach as your IFA.

I would like to say thank you to Craig Palfrey and his staff for always giving good and prompt service. They also gave excellent advice; the back up service is also very good.

I would like to thank Craig for his excellent financial advice. He explains things clearly, and his calm, quiet manner inspires confidence, which is truly justified by the results of following that advice.

For the past four years, since our retirement, Craig has provided sound, yet friendly professional advice on a variety of matters. We genuinely trust and appreciate his professional expertise. Craig is supported by a very welcoming and efficient team who, in our experience, offer a first class service on all aspects of financial planning.

We initially contacted Craig Palfrey in 2004 for some Inheritance Tax planning advice. Several years on and Craig has now successfully dealt with setting up both our pensions as well as putting us straight on a previous poor performing Investment portfolio.
Craig comes over as an extremely genuine person, he is very confident in his field of expertise and one never feels under pressure to implement any options/solutions he provides.
To summarise: for my overly cautious husband (in the financial arena) to tell me that “I wish you’d found Craig years ago” is indeed a great compliment to Craig and reflects the huge trust we have placed in him.

"I first met Craig in Feb 2004 when he came to sort out my financial problems. Caught up in the 'With Profits' quagmire, I was getting little or no return on my investments, I was also facing swingeing exit penalties. Being a very cautious investor I was apprehensive in taking Craig's advice, but he was very positive, knowledgeable and confident. All proposals were laid out in easy to understand terms, and there was absolutely no pressure selling involved. I decided to take Craig's investment recommendations and the exit penalties blow was softened by him being able to secure favourable allocation rates. Within the first year my new investments had recovered all losses and were forging into positive territory again. I personally have all confidence in Craig and his team and would not wish to deal with anyone else.”

"We have known Craig Palfrey for 2 years, and in that time we cannot fault his financial advice. Nothing is too much trouble for him, he is polite and courteous and explains everything in detail so you can understand it quite easily. Only wish we knew him sooner."

“I am a chartered engineer and a few years ago I decided to take semi-retirement when I had approx 2 ½ years to normal full time retirement. Therefore my financial and estate affairs including investments and my money purchase retirement scheme, needed fundamental reviewing and planning for my eventual retirement. I took some two to three months time and care to choose my IFA including talking to referees who had used the services of an IFA in recent years. I eventually chose Craig Palfrey. Craig has been advising me now for approx 5 years. The advice I have received to tidy up my estate and continue investing to the maximum effect in accordance with the acceptable risks to me has been sound and effective.”

Mr Allen Pontypridd
“My grateful thanks to you for yet again coming to the rescue of my peace of mind and talking to me regarding ‘equity release’. Hopefully I will not have to bother you too much in the future, nevertheless I will always be more than pleased to see you if you are in this area and can spare a moment for a cuppa! Alternatively, if it was lunch time I would esteem it a great favour if you were able to join me for a lunch at the local hostelry! Of course, that would be if you don’t mind being seen in the company of an old lady! I do hope your family are well, and once again my thanks.”
