Mr Richard Broadhead (Score 10/10), Ashbourne, Derbyshire May 2023
Giles asked many questions but, when the report and advice was presented to myself and my wife, it became clear that he was incredibly thorough and left nothing to assumption. Since instructing Giles to take control of my pensions and finance planning, I have been further impressed by his follow-up calls/advice. Giles is obviously reviewing my portfolio on a regular basis and keeping me informed and making recommendations that I otherwise would not have thought of.

Giles Warren's consultation was very professional, thorough and comprehensive. A lot of attention was paid in understanding my needs and ensuring that there was a good background information that informed my investment plan. Everything was explained to me in detail and all my questions were answered with easy to understand terms which gave me the confidence that what I've been proposed is the best investment for my portfolio.
Miss Eriana Gourmou (Score 10/10), London June 2022
At no point was I made to feel out of my depth or belittled by my relative lack of knowledge in the area of investment. The process has felt thorough and rigorous and I've been grateful for the fast and clear communication throughout. The only period of adjustment has been with the platform itself. Coming from Hargraves Landsdown where I was able to monitor things closely and had become used to the platform, logging in to Hubwise is a new experience and I find it harder to understand how each aspect of the portfolio is performing.

Before we met Giles, our investments were spread over multiple expensive offshore accounts and we felt we didn't understand all their details. Giles listened, understood and helped us reorganise. Now we feel our investments are ordered, in good hands and working for us. We found Giles and his team to be friendly and responsive at all times.

"We used Giles Warren Financial to help us with our overall Financial Planning. We both had numerous pensions all over the place with different providers, which was really hard to track and we had no idea what they would really give us in retirement. They helped us consolidate them into their stream lined investment process and we can now view them all online if we want too. We also wanted to invest more money for our future savings, so they helped us set up our ISA's at the same time.
They used brilliant Cashflow modelling to help us forecast our income at our normal pension age, and budget for any shortfalls. I now feel reassured that Giles Warren Financial are working with us to help us achieve our personal goals and make sure the kids are protected along the way - what more could you want?
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as an honest, efficient and trustworthy IFA."

"I am so relieved that I was introduced to Giles. I did not know how to invest my accumulated savings, small inheritance and pension to produce the best return, yet in a way that I would be comfortable with. Giles has engaged me in a system that is flexible for my needs, is compatible with my risk profile, tax efficient and that I can understand. Moreover he regularly reviews my situation and will make changes if we feel that those changes would suit my current needs better. At the same time Giles is always accessible if I have any questions or worries at any time. To sum up I am really happy with Giles' expertise and attitude and feel that my best interests are of prime concern to him.

"Contentment is knowing that you have a good doctor, a good lawyer, a good accountant and a great IFA. After kissing a few frogs I settled on Giles some years back as my 'great IFA' and whilst I'd never admit it to him, his fees are dwarfed by his returns. If you can recommend a good lawyer, however, let me know."

"Over the course of a year, we had consulted with and been let down by four other mortgage advisers before we came to Giles. Giles is in a league of his own: he was honest, thorough, consistent, and actually saw things through. We are both self-employed and therefore not the easiest case. Giles was imaginative and did not give up. We ended up with mortgage deals that I genuinely do not believe another adviser would have been able to secure for us. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"We are extremely happy with the service that Giles Warren is giving us! Giles has helped us now for several years, through the period of transition from being (self) employed into retirement. We started with a jumble of pension funds and savings accounts that had accumulated over many years. With his recommendations these were made more understandable and improved. Now we are retired, with a different situation, Giles has introduced us to a way to easily manage our finances. We have engaged with a system that is comprehensive and allows us to monitor, interrogate, and make revisions as circumstances change. The portfolio is fully managed by professional experts, meets our chosen risk profile and is tax efficient. The investments are in a balanced mix of shares, bonds and ISA’s, and, importantly, permit a draw down for our income to supplement our state pensions. The overall performance has been above market average. As part of our selected service we meet regularly and review our situation. Discussions are assisted by comprehensive and detailed Financial Planning Reports which Giles produces using the latest modelling software. These reports are a great help to us for planning our retirement and future lifestyle. We are reassured that we can sit back and enjoy ourselves, with the knowledge that Giles is committed to keeping us informed! We would not hesitate in recommending him to you."
