“I chose Calver Groom (specifically Spencer) to act as my FA as he had been the Company FA where I worked before my fairly recent retirement. I always found Spencer knowledgeable helpful and friendly, with a real knack of explaining the jargon to those of us without a great deal of financial experience. My instinct was to trust Spencer with my pension pot, six months into retirement I certainly do no regret the decision. Spencer, along with the team at Calver Groom have made the whole process easier and understandable.”Mark Ashmore, February 2024

He was very concise and clear in his information relating to the complex subject of pensions and had a very easy manner which immediately inspired confidence.”Julie Northeast, February 2024
