EXCELLENT Based on 57 reviews Posted on Ray StonemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cole Gunning Financial Advisor Extraordinaire We came across Cole Gunning essentially by accident, through a marketing ad. We were feeling like we had lost our sense of direction with our finances and needed an independent mind to make some suggestions on how best to bring our various investments and assets to best use. It was clear from the first meeting Cole’s calm, confident, professional and knowledgeable approach was precisely what we needed in a financial advisor. In short order, he returned with a comprehensive, logical and understandable strategy to move forward. He enabled us to maximise our returns on our investments and was able to help us with a creative financing project, where others had failed. He is without doubt a giant among financial advisors, and we are lucky to have him on our team ! We would thoroughly recommend using his services and expertise. Ray & GillPosted on Evie rose cameronTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would highly recommend! We knew Josh through family who kindly put us in contact with Helen Foster to be our financial advisor when buying our first home. Helen was incredibly kind and personable. Even though buying our first home was extremely stressful, Helen made sure that we felt in control and understood every step. We are extremely thankful for all her time and hard work in our case and will be in touch if we need to use her services again. Thank you Helen! - Evie and WillPosted on David BurtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've benefitted from Caths' services for many years.

We have been with William Dixon & Associates Ltd for many many years, I think when we first joined it was Save and Prosper and then there was one other name change but currently WDA Ltd and in all those years and that’s 40+ we have had different advisors sadly some who have now departed us 🥲 but as a young family back then growing up and starting our own family all these advisors all very professional in what they did never pushed us into anything and understood our needs and more importantly our financial limitations and advised accordingly and then not only became advisors but our friends to, I sadly attended dear David’s funeral as he was like a family member to us and he is sorely missed by us both and my now grown up children who also use the services of WDA. Our current advisor Rob continues to give us the respect and support that we have become accustomed to also a big shout to the background personnel ie secretaries etc for their great customer service support all in all a great company to deal with and as the Strictly Judges would say 10 10 10 10.Posted on Hannah JenkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
