Testimonials

 
I have known Gary for nearly 15 years and have used his advice and services extensively. Recently Gary’s detailed pension advice regarding a recent complex share purchase within a SIP has been extremely beneficial. He brought to my attention an opportunity that most IFAs without his specialist knowledge would have not known about.

My Company enlisted the help of Burlington Associates (Balvinder) to explain and assist with changes to the current employee benefits package. I have always found the complexities of pension arrangements to be somewhat of a mystery and I can honestly say that Balvinder has been outstanding, patient, and professional in his approach and has the ability to explain the complexities of pensions, Tax, and other financial matters in plain English which was a great help to me. I would happily recommend him to anyone in need of financial advice.

Everybody’s lifestyle and expectations are different. Most of us have little idea of how much money is needed in the future to maintain a certain lifestyle after we have stopped working. Jeff Bennett and Burlington have really focused me on what I would need for “life after work” – and how much I would need to save during my working years and what is the most cost-effective way to do it. I have been meeting with Jeff periodically for nearly 10 years now and we are constantly updating and refining. I feel a lot more comfortable with Jeff’s and Burlington’s guidance that I am really planning for “life after work”, rather than just hoping for the best when the time comes. Regular contact with Jeff has meant that he is well aware of my personal financial situation and what I need to achieve to realize my retirement plan. Anyone in full-time work in their late 30s/early 40s should be speaking now to Jeff and his colleagues at Burlington.

Ian Chapman has been my IFA for over 20 years. He has consistently provided me with bespoke solutions to meet my changing financial planning needs throughout this time. Always acting with complete discretion, diligence, and diplomacy, where necessary, he continues to be a trusted, loyal advisor and friend. Thanks to his skill, I have been able to focus on my career without having to overly concern myself with financial planning and in these later years to retire at the time of my choosing, secure in the knowledge that my and my family’s financial future is assured. Best Wishes.

We first became acquainted with Daniel about 15 months ago, through a recommendation from my Dad. I was somewhat dubious after several unsuccessful liaisons with financial advisors in the past, but even at our first meeting, Dan was totally reassuring. He listened and understood our needs for the present, and hopes for the future. He was also extremely patient, explaining different plans and investments over and over again, making them easy to understand, whilst also answering our numerous questions. We never once felt rushed or pressured by Dan, in fact, it was quite the opposite. He took the time to get to know us, which we really appreciated, as it reassured us that he really did have our best interests in mind. Over these past months working with Dan, he has shown great patience, with our constant inquiries and changes of plan. We feel sure we will have a very long and successful relationship, as not only has he gained our trust, but we now regard him as a friend too.

We instructed Burlington Associates earlier this year to conduct a review of our current employee benefits package after they were recommended to us by a professional connection. I found the consultant who attended our offices (Balvinder) to be both knowledgeable and diligent in providing advice on how best to restructure our benefits package to accommodate the forthcoming legislative changes that will apply to company pension schemes next year, in a manner that was tax-efficient and provided scope for us to manage cost implications of implementation. I would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Burlington Associates to any employer who required a refreshingly professional and reliable level of advice for their company affairs.”

Having recently started a company pension scheme through Burlington Associates, I have found Bal to be both professional and personable. His ability to explain what is a complex matter in straightforward terminology has been first-rate. I would have no hesitation in recommending Bal to others and hope to carry on an excellent relationship.
