What were the circumstances that caused you to look for a Financial Adviser?
Managing my pension fund.
How did David Jack help you?
I required an IFA to invest my pension. My first encounter with an IFA was disastrous and resulted in my funds being considerably depleted within 1 year. I recovered my funds but was very nervous about engaging another IFA. My cousin recommended her IFA but she lives in Glasgow, I live in London. David Jack flew down to London to visit me twice. We keep in touch by Skype and phone. David is knowledgeable and most importantly listens carefully to what the client’s wishes are and advises them of their options. For nearly 3 years now I’ve been worry free regarding my pension. I have no hesitation in recommending David Jack of Castlebank Financial Planning whatever part of the country you live in.
What is your current situation? Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
I was very happy that I understood the procedureI am confident and relaxed that my pension is well managedI also purchased additional and put my home in trust to my childrenThe result was much better than if I’d managed on my ownI am very happy with the management of my pension.

Highly recommend Castlebank Financial Planning
David Jack helped our family with financial advice which we required to seek on our mother’s behalf. The information provided by David was very detailed, thorough and tailored to our needs. David has in turn provided us with advice and we would highly recommend Castlebank, having done so already to friends.

Pension Investment
Contacted Castlebank to provide advise on a way forward with my finances, most notably personal pensions. The Advisor listened to what I had to invest and then advised he would return in a week after he had researched the market for the best option to place my funds in. There was no pressure on me to invest but, because it had been well explained to me, I decided to take his advice and place my money as advised. To date my pension fund is growing year on year and I’m delighted with how the pension fund is performing. I would have no hesitation in using them again should the need arise.

For professional service you can trust, go to Castlebank first
David dealt very professionally with my wife and I to prepare wills and powers of attorney. He was very knowledgable and took time to explain all aspects of the documents in non-technical terms, while delivering quality pertinent advice on all aspects of the documents. His “turn around” was very prompt. I would thoroughly recommend David without hesitation for any similar tasks within your family circumstances.

David advised me well with my inheritance and hopefully this will yield favourable returns in the future. David has a lot of experience and this was exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend Castlebank Financial Planning and will use them again.

Professional, Trustworthy and Competent
Our dealings with Castlebank’s David Jack began in 2011. At that time we were retiring from our professional lives and were looking for advice on planning for our financial futures. David provided clear guidance on the options available to us and helped us to decide how to proceed. At no stage over the years that we have been dealing with David have we felt under any pressure to act on his recommended investment strategies; we implemented some of the recommendations straight away whereas others are just being implemented now since they now suit our current circumstances. David has maintained contact over the years to carry out periodic reviews of our finances to help us ensure that our financial plans are sound. We are very happy to recommend Castlebank to anyone looking for financial planning advice.

Great advice and service!
Very satisfied with the advice I received for my life & critical illness cover. I would definitely refer your company to friends and family due to the experience from first call to getting my policies in force. The premiums were really great too.

I must confess to being a little prejudice, on the basis I cant see past a professional who actually delivers on their promises. Further, if you are fortunate enough to find trust too; then I can only offer praise for that person/company.
Castlebank’s Paul Reynolds not only delivered on his promises and established trust with myself and my wife, he has become a good friend in the process. So much so that my business partners and friends now choose Castlebank as their adviser of choice for their financial planning.
I would have no problem recommending Castlebank to anyone.
