"Outstanding support and advice"

I run two businesses, and over the Lockdown period I experienced significant and quite damaging impacts to mine and my businesses financial situation. David Dodgson who has advised me for many years, including through a prior successful business sale, was a great support and provider of excellent advice. He continues to help through the recovery and provides excellent planning advice and financial guidance. His insights and knowledge are invaluable.

"A wonderful holistic approach to financial planning, and making life decisions."

TPO has been managing our finances for over twenty years. We very much look forward to our six monthly review with our advisor with Susan Tait, it is always a pleasure.
Susan's advice is excellent, taking a holistic approach looking at investments, private and NHS pensions, property, wills, and power of attorney, and income streams.
We have always been well looked after, as Susan guides us through the options best suited to us, and has been there to help, when we are also making other important life decisions.
Thanking the TPO team

"A Chartered Accountant's view"

I am a Chartered Accountant and have dealt with Robert Morse of TPO for many years and have introduced him and his team to other clients of mine during that period. Their service has been excellent and I have always felt that the advice was being given with my best interests in mind, which has not always been my experience with other IFAs.

"Reliable sound advice and service"

I used the services of TPO around 3 years ago initially as a professional check of how I was managing my own money. The report was comprehensive covering not just my selection of funds but also the various benefits and faults of each provider.

The recommendation was to transfer some of what I had to a new provider to improve flexibility before my retirement but also to tailor the investments to when I would be likely to draw them which seemed sensible. They highlighted 2 of my policies as having special benefits and to keep them in place.

I have just had an annual review and all is on track. I have full confidence in recommending them based on my experience to date.

"Exceptional Service by Philippa at The Private Office"

I had the pleasure of working with Philippa from The Private Office, and I can't say enough about the exceptional service she provided. Philippa went above and beyond to help me secure the best life insurance policy.

From the beginning, she patiently answered all my questions and provided me with a thorough understanding of my options.

Her expertise and dedication were evident throughout the entire process, and I couldn't be happier with the results.Not only did Philippa find me the perfect life insurance coverage, but she also took the time to tailor it to my specific needs and budget. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring I was well-informed made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

I truly appreciate all the hard work and effort Philippa put into making sure I got the best possible deal. It's not often you come across someone who genuinely cares about their clients' financial well-being, but Philippa certainly does.

I highly recommend Philippa's services at The Private Office to anyone in need of a financial adviser who will go the extra mile. Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication are second to none.

Thank you, Philippa, for all your help and support!

"Start wasn’t bad but then silence"

Initial consultation was fine and the area of interest was discussed. The proposal arrived and when I read it I realised that I can do 99% of the proposed items myself and looking at the fee structure I decided against going any further. The initial fee is very high and in the current economic situation I just couldn’t justify it. The biggest thing is that since receiving the proposal and declining it there has been NO further communication from TPO, not even an acknowledgement of not using them. The warm and fuzzy feeling just isn’t there.

"Very poor service"

I was a client for a number of years without problem. Last year I had to chase them for the usual annual review of the investments. Nothing happened and after further chasing I was told I was no longer entitled to this unless I paid a lot more; I had received no notification of a change to the service. I complained and was then told it was a mistake and the change only applied to new customers. However, the review was still not done. When I chased again, they contradicted themselves again I said I could not get the review. What staggers me is the casual ease with which they could tell me one thing and then the complete opposite, without any sense that this is completely unprofessional and fundamentally undermines trust. I made a complaint but was most unhappy with the response, so took a complaint to the Ombudsman who instructed them to award me compensation.
