Flying Colours Advice Limited Avis 

Without the expert advice I have received my pension plan would not be in the healthy shape it is today. Financial life savers!

Les Conway in London has always been very helpful - practical advice.

At my time of life I need stability and lower risk in my financial affairs. FC personal profiling ensures that my accounts are managed within this profile. Communication and any personal requests are handled promptly and effectively. I remain confident in their ability to continue this way on my behalf.

We have been investing with Flying Colours for several years and have found they have always offered a friendly, professional service. Our Adviser has always been available to answer any queries we might have regarding our investments.

I have been working with Les for about 20 years. Together we developed a plan to transition from full time employment, into running a lifestyle business and ultimately to retirement.
The plan has been adapted as we have gone along to reflect changing circumstances and goals, and is now in first phase implementation.
I highly recommend the process and Les as a guide to to walk you through it. He has always been personable, knowledgeable, and thoroughly trustworthy.

Sound clear and accurate advice always given
Advice in laymans terms so easy to understand
never rushed or hurried
No hesitation in my recommendation

Was meant to receive an annual financial review - and after 4 years, got my first one. The advisor did discuss a number of details - and noted down I had changed my address - and indeed sent me the result of the review, to my new address. However the review, he wanted me to sign contained a lot of information we had not discussed, and so I was unhappy signing it.

The next year, a new advisor want to conduct a review, which was progress, however, he seemed oblivious to the fact that I needed to work, and could only manage certain dates and time - and when ever I suggested a date or time, he was out of the office.

After they doubled their fees, I decided enough was enough, and so informed them I was moving my account elsewhere.

Unfortunately, because they had failed to updated the investment platform with my new details, I could not move my money. Flying Colours say they could no longer update my details - the platform insisted they were the only ones who could.

After a bit of persuading I did manage to get the platform to amend my details - no help from Flying Colours, so eventually, after I spent a lot of my working day sorting out admin they should have sorted I am all good.

We approached flying colours after a very negative experience with another company. Natalie Donnell was very thorough and took the time to explain the various options available to us and made sure we completely understood the whole process,i cannot recommend Natalie highly enough .

Natalie is a great Financial Advisor. I went to Flying Colours for pension advice, and Natalie contacted me. She was extremely approachable and helpful, spending the time to get to know me and my family's circumstances and was extremely supportive. She took the time to explain quite complicated matters (to me, anyway) in very simple terms, ensuring I fully understood my options to make informed decisions. I really appreciated Natalie's calm and caring style and was very happy with the advice she gave me. I was also very happy with Simon Harvey, who worked with Natalie and followed up with the pension companies to ensure all was on track.

I have received retirement planning advice enabling me to achieve early retirement by the end of this year. George has been supportive and has provided clear explanations and highlighted options and potential risks throughout. Just at the beginning of my journey with Flying Colours but so far so great.

Very professional and informative advice relating to my retirement options. I found Craig to be very knowledgeable and approachable and he gave me sound advise which I acted on.
The whole process was well handled, and Craig was never more than a phone, or VC metting away. I would highly recommend his services

Flying Colours has given me confidence to face the future alone because my Financial Adviser, Arthur Childs, who has looked after my affairs for many years, trusts the company.

Honest, well thought out guidance, based on our needs.
Left feeling that we were in very safe hands, and that our future financial requirements were now in a far better place.

I had been avoiding doing anything with my pensions for years, but I am so glad i contacted Flying Colours. Natalie has been great, she explainwd everything to me in a way I could understand and produced a really comprehensive report that showed options and outcomes, and reorganised my pensions for me.

Really helpful advice and comprehensive report from Arthur on all matters financial. We sought advice from Arthur as I neared retirement and was looking for the best way to manage a number of defined contribution pension pots. With Arthur’s help - these pots have now been consolidated onto a single platform which is easier to manage. Arthur also provided helpful advice on tax efficient saving ideas.

Great service. I've been with them for several years. Last week I needed a rapid tax free lump sum (divorce involved and money needed for new house), explained situation and legal status and within 4 days money was in my bank account.
I appreciate their understanding of the need for rapid processing. Other places don't and you can wait around for ages.
George is very professional, and I've been in financial services for years and have a deep mistrust of IFAs but George is one of the best I've dealt with.

I have used my current adviser for many years and more recently been linked with Flying Colours. I find them efficient and trustworthy with regular and helpful financial updates - both written and video

I know Arthur Childs through the church I attend. He is friendly, approachable and reliable.
I needed advice on the transfer of a pension fund to a safer fund.

I have regular updates and advice and have the best advisor who I have known for nearly 40 years. I feel very confident in his integrity and am sure he is doing the best for me with regard to investments

I have been extremely impressed and happy with the service I’ve got from Flying Colours and in particular my advisor Andrew.
Andrew’s patience and ability to explain things in clear everyday language while giving me the reassurance about every step I was taking means my pensions have been sorted and I’m now in the position to make informed decisions about my future. All throughout he’s been transparent and open with me. I’d highly recommend him.
