Report
After looking for a local Financial Advisor, I rang DM Pensions & Investments Solutions Ltd and was glad I did. We arranged for a home visit and there received info about their services, I was asked about my requirements and given clear advice and explanations of the options open to me, including the pitfalls of some. Because of the climate of the financial sector at this time, I was not expecting a lottery win, but DM came through with a package that I was happy with and that suited my requirements. I was kept up to date of any information received from the pension providers. All I can say
