I highly recommend this Company for the patient/advice given to me while deciding which would be best for me, no pressure along with regular updates showing availabilities before I decide on a fixed term annuity. “Thank you all, Mr K Hodges |
 “I am very happy with the service provided by Retirement Professionals. David was very patient and spent a significant amount of time exploring various options with me to aid my decision process. Lesley kept me updated on a regular basis during the processing of my application. There were delays, all on the side of the annuity provider, Lesley demonstrated an enormous amount of tenacity and patience in progressing this and, with a final flourish of teamwork from herself and David, they were able to bring my application to conclusion. Their efforts on my behalf are greatly appreciated.”Ms L Malcolm-Stewart |
 “Excellent advice during the initial discussion. This was followed by a very efficient execution of the transfer process.”Mr S Boniface |
 “I have recently purchased annuity arranged by Retirement Professionals. In the compare market stage I contacted a few companies I find RP is most professional. Ian phoned promptly, not pushing at all and most importantly he explains things clearly and answers all my questions. The rate RP quoted is also most competitive. Once decision made RP’s back office support is very efficient. Lesley and Hayleigh are with me all the way from arranging 25% cash release and transfer fund from my old pension holder to confirm new policy from new annuity provider. Overall a top rating company. I have a few pension pots, when time comes to draw next one I have no hesitation to use RP again.”Mrs L Madle |
| “Thank you for a great service dealing with my pension which you have given me all along this difficult transaction, it was not an easy one but we are finally there.

| “I would like to give 5 stars ⭐️ to Retirement Professionals, they have been so helpful and professional. Firstly David was very helpful in finding me the right fixed term annuity for my needs. He listened and was very patient answering many questions. And then Lesley who helped with the admin and getting it actually done. She was so responsive, both to me and in chasing the providers to make it happen. It’s quite rare to find this level of customer service and I was very happy. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to change pension providers and knows what they are looking for. And it will get done in a decent timeframe. “ Mrs D Taylor-Young |
| “I spoke to five different companies in the run up to deciding what to do with my pension and only Ian from Retirement Professionals offered me the product I wanted. Ian has the patience of a saint and I’m sure he explained different things for me more than once. I found him very easy going, chatty and very knowledgeable. Once I had decided to go ahead, Lesley took over and kept me up to date every step of the way. Lesley has a great telephone manner and is very easy to talk to, never in a rush and always explained where we were with things. I can sincerely recommend this company.” Mr M Whelan |
| “Just a quick email to thank Ian and Lesley for arranging my annuity. From my first contact with Ian requesting annuity quotes to the annuity payments starting, your communication was excellent. Lesley sent me regular emails to let me know how the annuity was progressing and made sure I had received all necessary documents / payments from the pension company once it was set up. For the small commission they received, their customer service was excellent & I would not hesitate to recommend Retirement Professionals.” Kind regards, Mrs A Lamb |
| “When first approaching any firm online I am always very apprehensive, however from the first contact I was impressed by their ability to offer various options for me. Having left it alone for a while they again made contact and came back with suitable suggestions of which I did peruse, at all times their wasn’t any pressure to buy the products. After deciding which to purchase everything was handled very professional and I was kept informed by Lesley at every stage. I would not hesitate to recommend this company if you are looking for quality. Thanking them once again. “ Mr R Hadfield |
| “Very professional service taking all the concerns away throughout the process.” Mr P Mohan |
| “Recently renewed my pension scheme through the Retirement Professionals following the initial term expiring. I have found the Retirement Professionals to be excellent in their structure of information and timely in their responses. There is no ‘hard sale’ but friendly and informative details. I decided not only to renew through them, but also with the company (LV) that was used for the first five-year term. Options are explained and questions asked fully answered. I have recommended the Retirement Professionals to my former work colleagues and will look to use them again going forward. An excellent choice. “ Mr C Whitlock |
| “This company are fantastic. Had to change my pension to release some money. As previously they are so efficient, smooth transaction and kept me informed all through the process. Would highly recommend without any hesitation. “ Mrs J Bammens |
| “I was contacted several years ago after I had reached retirement age but before I was ready to retire. I was contacted annually after that with no pressure but sharing different options for my Pension. When I was ready to retire I re-contacted them and after selecting what I felt was the best option, the company guided me through the process of of sorting my pension out, contacting my pension company and the company who are to manage my annuity. They did all the paperwork, were very efficient, and kept me informed all along the way. I would highly recommend the company and their team.” Mr D Kitchen |
| “Ian Swan Contacted me very quickly after my Internet search, was really easy as Lesley and Hayley both kept me informed every step of the way, I have been so pleased with the outcome, I have given all your details to my friend and she has contacted Ian.

| “10 years ago I purchased a fixed term annuity through Retirement Professionals, and I had no hesitation in making them my first and only port of call when it matured recently and I needed to purchase another. Friendly, helpful and efficient as ever!” Mr J Ennals |
| “Dear Retirement Professionals, I was very happy with service you provided for undertaking the renewal of my annuity. The communication was great and Hayleigh kept me informed throughout the process.” Mrs D Yeo |
| “I would highly recommend Retirement Professionals. They helped me purchase an Annuity with Aviva from my pension pots ensuring I got the best possible rate available. After researching I decided an Annuity was the best for me and I contacted several companies. Ian and I kept in contact over two years while I was deciding whether to move forward. This is because I was still working. Ian was excellent in that as agreed he contacted me every few months giving me the latest rates available and explained clearly the options I had . With these updates I was able to move at the right time to obtain the best possible deal as Annuity rates went up. Once I agreed to act Hayleigh was absolutely magnificent in getting us over the line. She had to work with 3 different providers one of which was my current employer whose pension suppliers were very awkward indeed. She persevered and worked with the providers and Aviva to finalise everything. It took longer than we all thought and Hayleigh and Ian ensured that Aviva extended their guaranteed rate which was really important as Rates had fallen. I can’t thank Hayleigh and Ian enough. They were wonderful from start to Finish“ Mr S Blakeway |
| “Cannot recommend these folk enough! Ian (poor Ian!) suffered a million phone calls and questions over a lengthy period of time, nothing was too much trouble, Dave put up with us calling him Ian even though their accents are totally different! Hayleigh has kept in touch every step of the way during our somewhat troublesome journey.” A million thanks from Mrs & Mr French |
| “This is the second time Retirement Professionals have facilitated investment of my pension fund. As on the first occasion five years ago, despite the title their ‘non-advised’ service has been excellent. They have been consistently helpful in ascertaining my requirements, explaining options, obtaining quotations and arranging the set-up of contracts with the relevant pension providers, all with my specific intentions in mind. A friendly, courteous team of utmost integrity whom I recommend most highly to anyone needing professional assistance in tackling the complexities of retirement funding/investment.” Mr C Downs |
| “I’ve been very happy with Retirement Professionals, They dealt with my Retirement plan all the way and kept me informed all the way. I would definitely recommend them. I will use them again if i need to no problem.” Mr J Salisbury |
| “I retired in March this year and have been looking at Annuities since January this year. I had approached a number of companies about setting up an annuity with mixed results on service levels and attention to detail. I approached Retirement Professionals and David Bell specifically, and must say it was refreshing to speak with someone who communicated and articulated at all stages of the discussions in agreeing an annuity which as it stands today achieved an annuity at the peak of the rates this year. Throughout the discussions David and his colleagues kept me up to speed with the progress of my application without prompting which, is refreshing to have this level of customer service in today’s challenging service industry. I have achieved the outcome I was looking for which I must say was down to David’s attention to detail which was impeccable. I sincerely believed he did his very best, and excelled and could not have done better.” Mr S Norman |

| “I found dealing with this company was very easy. they were very efficient.” Mr C Neale |
| “Contacted by Ian Swan after an enquiry a year or so prior to retirement to get an idea of my options. He kept in touch periodically without badgering. When I was ready he did a very good and professional job in searching out the best deals and advising on my options. He and the whole team were professional from start to finish and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.” Mr A Norman |
| “I would like to say thank you to Retirement Professionals for there help. I had a savings fund from another company which was due to mature on my 60th birthday and was unsure what to do with the money. Retirement Professionals went through a number of options with me. They then sent me out a very professional pack with all the information relating to the option I was most interested in. I contacted RP a number of times throughout the process and was always able to speak to the advisor who was assisting me. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I have already recommended Retirement Professionals to a colleague of mine and will not hesitate to recommend them again. Thank you for all your help, for your patience with my questions and for your friendliness. One of the very best companies I have ever had the pleasure to deal with.” Best regards, Mr I Feldon |

| “Retirement Professionals have been an absolute pleasure to work with. David Bell and Hayleigh Bell have been extremely helpful and have guided me through the complex process of consolidating my many individual pension pots into a combined pot to purchase an annuity. They have been very professional and courteous and have always responded to my queries in a prompt manner, and have presented me with easy to understand annuity options at favourable market rates. The consolidation of pension pots can be very daunting, but they managed the process seamlessly and efficiently. I can highly recommend Retirement Professionals to anyone who is looking to secure a pension income by combining multiple pension pots.” Kind regards, Mrs E Pointing |
| “I would like to thank the team at Retirement Professionals David in the first instance being so helpful on my initial contact . It is a scary proposition to look for help in this world of fraud that will effect your future looking on-line . I am so glad I contacted Retirement Professional’s I researched read the reviews and decided to take a chance and call the company. I am so pleased I did David put my mind at rest and could not have been more helpful. He made sure the Annuity I was looking for suited me and was my best option for my financial circumstances and answered all my questions . I did not have a large fund and some companies may not have been interested but after looking at the market and arranging my quote Hayleigh took over . She was amazing she was very patient contacted my Pension Provider and helped me through the process of obtaining my Annuity . She kept me informed answered my emails quickly and efficiently she is a rare find and I hope she knows how grateful I am. I have no hesitation recommending this very friendly professional and efficient company.” Kind regards, Mrs Y Thain |
| “I cannot speak more highly of the two staff members (Ian Swan and Hayleigh Bell) who organised each aspect of our business union using my daughter as first line of contact (I have Parkinson’s disease and find areas of difficulty in most everyday situations). Their professional approach in establishing my “needs” was most refreshing and combined with the integration of humour made the whole exercise thoroughly enjoyable. I will endeavour to promote your Business to my friends and family. Thank you. (Please be aware that I have typed this personally in respect of their help and ask in anticipation to be forgiven for any grammatic mistakes)“ Very best regards Mr I P Bryan |
| “I turned 75 in November 2021 and had to decide what to do with my three pension funds. I did some groundwork and research into the subject, and I contacted various independent financial advisers. Amongst others I made online enquiry with Retirement Professionals about annuities I could get from each of my pension pots. A response was quick, and contact was made with Pension Income Specialist – Mr Ian Swan. Before progressing with possible choices available to me he advised me to arrange a session with Pension Wise – the Government’s free, impartial retirement guidance service that’s open to everyone seeking information about how they can turn their pension fund into a retirement income. One hour session I had with them which was very useful. Following this meeting I returned to Ian, and we started exploring options in a few quick sessions over the e-mail and occasionally talking over the phone. My trust built up each time of contact with him and finally, being convinced that it was a choice best suited to my future needs, I made my decision. Next, Retirement Professionals took over contacting my pension funds and arranging the execution of my choices. Ms Hayleigh Bell – Senior Sales Support, progressed extremely efficiently with each fund to convert my savings into 25% cash-free lump sums and finally annuities started arriving at my bank account. Professionalism of their guidance during the decision making process allowed me to pass through the stage of defining my financial future without fear or doubt. So, Ian and Hayleigh thank you very much for your sterling work!” Yours sincerely, Mr A Formaniak |
| “Retirement Professionals provided me with in-depth and informed guidance to pension providers and products in the market. Understanding my personal pension needs they provide a choice of pension investments that exceeded my expectations. I have experienced two separate transactions 3 years apart and both were great experiences. The people I deal with were very knowledgeable and kept my best interest at all times. During both sets of transaction they always kept me informed of events and always responded quickly to any question I had. I would strongly recommend Retirement Professionals.” Mr A McMullan |
| “I found Retirement Professionals excellent to deal with. Initial contact was with a chap called Ian, very friendly with a laid back approach (no pushing! ). I was introduced to Hayleigh who took up my pension transfer, again very friendly and kept me informed on all aspects as it progressed. I need to transfer another pension next year so I will definitely be using them again.” Mr C McMurray |
| “I would like to say a big thank you to Retirement Professionals for all their hard work on sorting out my pension annuity and keeping me updated with everything going on from the start to the completion they were very friendly and very organised at all times.” Many thanks, Mr J Piggott |

| “After 8 years of disillusionment speaking to Financial Advisors, pension companies and brokers I came across Retirement Professionals by a chance search on the internet. It was so refreshing to discover a business who listened to what I WANTED and Ian found me a solution that met MY REQUIREMENTS. There was no pressure from them; even when I stalled due to a dip in the funds Ian secured the quoted rate for an extended period of time until the pension pot recovered and reached its highest level. In my opinion, this business exceeds a 5-star rating; all the way through the process you put me at ease. Thanks Ian, David and Hayleigh.” Regards, Mr C Hearn |
| “Rating 5/5. Initial contact made within minutes of me submitting my enquiry. Ian maintained regular contact with me for over a year updating information on best available rates and the relevant procedures. Once I had decided on my options, this was actioned immediately and I was kept fully informed of the status up to the point of first payment. I would wholeheartedly recommend this organisation.” Mr S Jones |
| “I found the service to be 5 ⭐️. I initially spoke to Ian. I found him to be very easy to talk to and he explained various options for me that I hadn’t realised were available. It was no trouble at all to call him a couple of times for clarification and I eventually decided on an option that suited my individual needs. He was so helpful and patient whilst I made up my mind where to go. No pressure at all. After I decided which way to go I was passed into Hayleigh. I had numerous e mails from her letting me know exactly how things were going . I then received all the paperwork needed from the company I chose to confirm everything. My pension is now sorted and working hard for me. I’m delighted. They definitely helped to get you the best outcome. I have now recommended them to a friend who also needs to sort out hers. Amazing service.“ Mrs S Benney |
| “Hi I would like to thank Ian and Hayleigh for their help with my pension they done everything for me and always on hand whenever I needed advice very professional and so nice to talk too” Mr G Paterson |
| “I would highly recommend this organisation for the arrangement of personal pensions.

The concept of the “Hard sell” is not part of their mind set; they listen to the needs of the client and act accordingly.” Mr P Cole |
| “I really cannot thank retirement professionals enough especially Haleigh who was so understanding and patient with what turned out to be quite a difficult transfer. She kept me informed about what was going on from start to finish. Really cannot thank her enough, so special mention to her. All in all as the name suggests I found them totally professional.” Mr L McCormack |

In the first instance, I was dealt with by Ian, who was also very helpful When we came to the work needing doing after Ian had arranged everything, I was passed on to Hayleigh. Hayleigh was really really inspiring. At 60 something, you need a bit of ‘hand holding’ and Hayleigh definitely stepped up to the mark. When my case took longer than anticipated Hayleigh even managed to secure me some compensation which was a very very nice unexpected financial boost. She explained everything I was not sure of in a friendly easy to understand way. Hayleigh is a beacon of light for your company and I do hope that she gets the promotion and thanks that she deserves.” |
| “Both Hayleigh & David Bell of Retirement Professionals were extremely efficient in dealing with our request of finding the best annuity for our circumstances, & kept us informed every step of the way explaining fully anything that we did not quite understand.

In fact, quite the reverse, If the opportunity arises to do so, I would have no hesitation in recommending Retirement Professionals to others. I wish you all well” Warm regards, Mr D Rex |
| “Last year Retirement Professionals helped me convert 2 of my pensions into an annuity, so when I wanted to convert my remaining pension into a drawdown I had no hesitation in asking for their help again.

Hayleigh kept me informed about what was happening and when. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing help with their pension.” Mrs L Semmens |

| “I came across Retirement Professionals when researching impaired annuity rates about two years ago. After a chat, I decided not to proceed but kept their contact details and called them again about two months ago when I was ready to proceed. In the interim and as promised, there was no contact and no attempt at hard selling. They succeeded in finding me a very competitive annuity and with a minimum of fuss and paperwork the annuity was brought into play within a month. Having been in financial services most of my working life, I was impressed with their professionalism and knowledge and would have no hesitation in recommending them to family and friends. I would rate their service level as 5*.” Mr K J Kearns |

I was given clear and precise information as to what my options were and at no time felt any pressure to go ahead with anything. Ian kept in touch with me to see if I had decided to go ahead with anything and helpfully provided quotations for several options which we discussed. Again no pressure whatsoever. When the time came that I was ready to go ahead and commence proceedings things were explained to me in clear easy to understand terms. As my pension was being dealt with by the pension company Hayleigh kept in contact with me letting me know how things were progressing and after finalisation contacted me again to ensure the pension company had provided me with everything they should have. All in all this was an easy and pleasurable experience for me as Retirement Professionals did all the work for me. I would sincerely recommend their services to anyone looking for their areas of expertise.” Once again thank you for your help. Kind regards, Mr P Hassall |

I hope you are still going strong in 10 years when I will be back.” Take care, Mrs A Jones |
| “I have used Retirement Professionals on four separate occasions to consolidate and then find the best return for my pension pots. They were always polite and more than willing to help with any questions I had. I have passed their company name on to many of my friends who are approaching retirement or who have expressed an interest in drawing down on their pots. I would gladly endorse and recommend them to anyone who is thinking about early retirement or just looking to get at their tax free lump sum a little early. Thanks Ian and Hayleigh” Mr S Davidson |

Hannah did keep me informed of the process and it was unobtrusive, helpful and efficient. I would recommend Retirement Professionals with confidence.” Mrs A Hanmore |

It seemed a daunting task to get hold of my funds from a previous employer what with the government, financial services and former employer regulations and constraints. I really could not have unravelled that spaghetti without you. You are one outstanding and truly professional company, from start to finish. This was the third time in using your services and that exceptional level of attentiveness at having my interests at heart has not changed over the three years of our association. You have much to be proud of and I wish you all the great success you deserve. Absolutely Professionals. I felt that each and every member of staff had my interest at heart. They did what they said they were going to do. They followed up on third parties. They responded quickly to my concerns and given that there is a time difference of seven hours were still answering me to suit my schedule not theirs. Truly wonderful service in this day and age when so many can not measure up. Thank you so much. And just to note this is the third time my husband and I have used them. When you get great service why go elsewhere?“ Best regards, Mrs D Davis |

| “After a traumatic episode with another “Professional” on sorting out my pensions and their complete failure to progress I contacted Retirement Professionals to see what they could do. They lived up to their name as “Professionals” advising me on options, obtaining competitive quotes and arranging my annuities in an effective way – sorting out all the issues along the way without giving me too much bother. Hayleigh was really impressive with her determination to keep things moving for me and Ian obtained the pension quotes which were better than others I had sought – if I was retiring again then I would use them again!!“ Alan H |
| “I used Retirement Professionals to find and arrange an annuity for me, using my maturing AVC pension. In initial telephone discussions they explained the procedures to me clearly and were clear and concise in the way they took details from me. Subsequent correspondence was by email and post and was always dealt with promptly. They had to deal with the AVC fund holder through my company pensions office and there were delays caused within one or both of those organisations but Retirement Professionals always persisted with them and kept me informed. I first contacted them in January 2018 and the whole process took until May 2018. The annuity arranged was 74% higher than that offered by my AVC fund holder. As a numerical rating I must rate them 5 / 5.” Best wishes, Noel |

| “The Retirement Professionals – A Review
I had set up a pension some years ago, my job took me to all corners of the world ending up being a resident and taxpayer in Australia. I am still working and for the past 6 years in China, although I regard Australia home. My Pension reaching maturity the provider sent the options document by mail (which can take several weeks to Oz) and all the correspondence assumed I lived in UK. I tried to communicate with this provider but their internet options sucks! Furthermore needed them to communicate via email…..no response and time ticking. I went surfing (no not on Australia’s famous beaches) for my options and gave my information. Immediately I had a call from Jon it was inconvenient at the time but he called me back precisely at the arranged time. Retirement Professionals explained how the annuity options worked and came up with the right solution for my circumstances. The other providers, well I only had one reply and that came after my annuity had been set up. Working in China is not always easy to get personal issues covered but Retirement Professionals handled my affairs as your best friend, with a high level of professionalism, whilst enduring my humour. You asked me to give a rating out of 5 well it’s got to be 6++. Hayleigh, Jon thanks for everything and especially for bailing me out of that silly mistake.” Mr Parfitt |
| “Thank very much for sorting out my pension annuity. I would highly recommend your services to family and friends. A very quick and smooth exchange. I would rate you 5 out of 5 on the scale. Also a thank you to Ian for his help.” Mr Kirby |

| “Please allow me to thank you and David in particular for arranging the plan as well as sorting out the problems of the delay arising from the original ineffective actions of Equitable Life. If any of my teacher friends wants to buy an annuity, I will have no hesitation or reservation in recommending Retirement Professionals.” Kind regards, Mr R Candassamy |
| “Pensions and annuities can be an absolute minefield, even to those with some financial knowledge they can be extremely complex, and to be honest, I didn’t know where to start. One email enquiry to Retirement Professionals was all it took to lead us down a smooth route guided all the way by David and the team. At no point were we pressurised, but the conversations we had helped us to decide the right option for us. Once the decision was made Hayleigh took the process from start to finish, ironing out any issues and doing all the hard work for us, we didn’t need to do a thing other than read Hayleigh’s almost daily updates. I can’t rate Retirement Professionals highly enough, they were totally efficient and professional throughout, and were totally attentive to our needs, answering all queries immediately. I have recommended them to my friends and will continue to do so. We are so glad we found such a professional organisation with whom to deal with.” Patricia Brown |
| “I wish to thank Jon for all the help he gave me helping me to get the right pension. He made me feel relaxed about it as I did find it stressful , we even had a laugh about it.

I have already recommended Retirement Professionals to someone.” Thank you for your very professional service, Elaine Brook |

| “This is how I rate the service provided:- *Initial contact, very positive, felt that the contact (David) was very responsive, non pushy and was quickly aware of my requirements, *The quotes provided were prompt and covered a number of clearly explained options. *Once I had decided they quickly arranged the Annuity and dealt with my pension saving Provider. *The company who provided the Annuity were also very efficient and Retirement Professionals kept me well advised of progress. * I can only base it on my experience and say that this company provided excellent service. * If asked to rate them (say out of 10), I would say 9.5 but can’t really say there is any specific reason not to say 10! * I stress that the above is based on my own experience and is a statement not a recommendation to any other Party.” Regards, J Preistley |
| “Good morning, Dave. Thank you very much for your close and careful attention to my personal pension requirements. I have to say that I found your whole approach very professional and considerate, and was confident from an early stage that you were working in my interests to achieve an appropriate conversion from my personal pension savings plan to an annuity plan that suited my preferences. That annuity is now in place and I believe I have achieved better value through your intervention than I might otherwise have done if I was left to my own devices. Although most of my friends are enjoying the luxury of generous occupational pensions in their retirement, I will have no hesitation in recommending you to any friends or acquaintances who might benefit from your particular expertise.” With best wishes, J Pontet |

They painstakingly explained all the options in obtaining my Pension and I would wholeheartedly recommend their services to others. 5 out of 5!“ Thanks again, Regards, Alan W |
| “Retirement Professionals were Excellent from start to finish, Hayleigh, John and Dave were extremely professional and friendly and informative. Retirement Professionals are the only firm I would recommend for anything connected with pension planning etc.” Kind regards, Steve Crisell |
| “Having become self-employed at the age of 58, I was looking to use my previously-accumulated pension pot to supplement my income until I reach state pension age. By researching on the web I decided that a fixed term annuity would be the right product as it would keep my options open in the future by giving me a guaranteed maturity value. I found that there were several online annuity calculators available, but they all had the “catch” that using them would trigger a potentially annoying sales call. Nevertheless I selected one at random and sure enough the call came – from Jon at Retirement Professionals – but it proved to be far from annoying!
Jon has a particular talent for explaining things in a clear, down-to-earth way and I felt he was listening to what I wanted rather than just going through the product features. In the past I have always preferred face-to-face meetings when discussing financial matters, but in this case although we were 200 miles apart, Jon’s friendly professionalism made me feel I was getting a truly personal service. All the information he emailed me was clear and concise, reflecting my wishes and including the Key Features document. Having received Retirement Professionals’ quotation, I also approached a local Independent Financial Advisor to see what they would recommend. I was reassured to find that they suggested exactly the same product; however, they quoted a lower income and maturity value and did not tell me about the product options or provide the Key Features document! I therefore had no hesitation in placing my business with Retirement Professionals and I am very glad I did. In finalising and setting up my annuity I also dealt with Hayleigh and Dave at Retirement Professionals, and they were equally friendly and helpful. Hayleigh kept me informed every step of the way, and I was surprised at how quick the whole process was, despite my “pot” coming from several different providers. |
| “5 *****, I would highly recommend Retirement Professionals to anyone who is approaching retirement and feeling apprehensive about their pension options. I dealt with Jon and Hayleigh. Jon patiently went through all my options, provided me with various quotes and worked hard to get me a good annuity keeping me informed of every step. Hayleigh then dealt with all the paperwork which all went smoothly. The service I received was first class and was provided by a highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable team.” Many thanks, Janet K |
| “First class service by Mr David bell professional services” Mr P Barraclough |
| “Excellent service from David and Hayleigh. Information given speedily and efficiently.” Thank you, Liz N |
| “I was extremely happy with the service provided by Retirement Professionals. I received detailed information on the options available to me, which David took time to explain. I was not pressurised to proceed straight away, unlike other companies I spoke to, giving me time to make an important decision about my future. Once I decided to go ahead, the paperwork was dealt with quickly and efficiently. I made a number of telephone calls with minor queries and received reassuring advice. From my personal experience I would recommend this company to my friends and colleagues. I would rate their friendly service as 5/5.” Richard A |
| “I cannot thank Jon, Hayleigh and Dave enough. After taking early retirement unexpectedly through voluntary redundancy, Jon worked hard getting me the best annuity from my pension funds in a short space of time, all the time keeping me informed of proceedings, speaking in understandable English rather than financial gibblygook. Hayleigh provided all the necessary paperwork, helping me to understand what I was signing. I’m not forgetting Dave, who was always pleasant, even though he was not dealing with me personally. A very professional, knowledgeable and helpful team who I have already recommended to a couple of friends.” Mr J Smallbone |
| “I found Retirement Professionals to be very responsive and they delivered what they said they would. I’m enjoying telling other providers that I am sorted with Retirement Professionals!” Thank you, Mrs Flavell |
| “I recently used Retirement Professionals to buy an annuity and was extremely happy with the service provided. They explained things at all stages of the process and did all the leg work. I did not have to worry about anything as I knew I was in safe hands. I would definitely recommend them.“ Thanks again, Camille |
| “The service that I have received from Retirement Professionals in connection with setting up my retirement annuity was first class, very friendly and the details expressed were concise and easily understandable. I was expecting a quite difficult process in converting my various pension plans into a living pension annuity, but with Retirement Professionals at the helm it was very relaxed and I am now very pleased with the result. I would give them a rating of 5 out of 5.” A J Tregurtha |
| “To whom it may concern
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Retirement Professionals team for their amazing service in sourcing and providing my annuity, which has helped enormously in providing me with peace of mind in my retirement. Considering I found Retirement Professionals whilst doing a search of the net, I thank my lucky stars that I found a company so completely bona fide, professional and helpful. Initially I was cautious because Retirement Professionals seemed too good to be true but my fears were quickly allayed because of the remarkable and prompt service they gave me, they were never “pushy” nothing was ever too much trouble and I must have driven Jon Sharples to distraction with my questions and dithering even though he had to repeat himself many times everything was explained to me in a completely cohesive clear manner, I really don’t know how he managed to stay so cheerful and positive, which really did mean a lot to me. I have only praise to offer for this company and I hope they continue to go from strength to strength as they well deserve to and I would gladly recommend them to anyone.” |
| “Just like to say thanks to you and your colleagues for all the work you done for me sorting out my pension, keeping me updated all the way, excellent service!“ Many thanks, R Hooker |
| “First rate. Knowledgeable and helpful regarding pension options, with detailed quotes to compare the choices. All delivered in a very professional, efficient and friendly manner from David, Hayleigh, and the rest of the staff. Retirement Professionals managed to get me a better annuity than my old employer offered me. This also included a 15 year guarantee, against the standard 5 year period being offered by my employer’s scheme.” Thanks again, Ken J |
| “I approached three companies about getting the best annuity possible. I dealt initially with Jon at RP and he provided me with an excellent quote but also in an “human” manner taking me through a very detailed questionnaire in an exemplary fashion. Then on to Hayleigh for all the paperwork which went very smoothly. However, having read previous reviews I’m wondering where my cheese and wine hamper is, which I would donate to Selby District Vision, a brilliant local charity where I’m a trustee. But seriously, happy to recommend.” Mr Cattanach |
| “I have used Retirement Professionals twice now and would certainly recommend them. They’re thorough, efficient, always keeping the process going as quick as it can, keeping the pension providers on their toes! Really nice, decent people to deal with, not pushy or patronising like a lot of others. 10/10“ Thank you, Stella F |
| “I would like to thank you and your team for the excellent service you gave during my transition from full time employment to retirement. I have nothing but praise for the way in which you dealt with my situation. I am particularly pleased with the level of annuity you managed to squeeze out of the providers. Once again – thank you very much for all your work on my behalf.” Regards, Mr M Jarvis |
| “Many thanks to David and Hayleigh At Retirement Professionals for the excellent service in dealing with my pension. You made the whole process so easy for me, spending LOTS of your time explaining everything in detail with absolutely no pressure.

| “I can not recommend David and Hayleigh enough, they gave me a fantastic service and were very professional and helpful all the way, Hayleigh even managed to get a hamper of cheese and wine from my pension fund holder.” Thanks once again, Chris J |
| “Just a quick letter of thanks to say how much I appreciated the work you and your team did in obtaining the best annuity quote from LV for me. Later in the year when my Prudential plan matures I hope to do more business with you.

| “From start to finish, Dave and Hayleigh at Retirement Professionals were totally on the ball. Every request I made, no matter how obscure, was handled with expediency and in an extremely efficient manner. The options open to me were explained in layman’s terms, allowing me to see exactly what was available and once I had made a decision, the whole process was completed with me being informed every step of the way. Retirement Professionals are definitely a Company worth talking to when the time is right.” Allan S |
| “Hayleigh, I have to say what a great service provided by yourselves, thank you ever so much. I don’t think I could have coped without you especially when dealing with Aegon! Thanks again and my regards to David too.” Eric |
| “To the team at Retirement Professionals (especially Jon), Would just like to thank you for the painless way you organised my pension annuity and lump sums, having four pensions with two providers didn`t help but you sorted it out a lot quicker than I thought possible, a big thank you from me for your efforts.” Mr Pember |

Thanks to Retirement Professionals, I can now feel secure, and the future looks bright.” Best Wishes, Catherine T |

| “Retirement Professionals are one of the companies recommended by my pension provider, so I gave them a call. I fully expected to be bombarded with calls and questions and reams of paperwork to plough through. This was far from the case as from the outset Dave Bell explained very clearly both what I needed to do and what his company could do for me to get the best results from my pension pot. Each and every step of the process was dealt with in both a friendly and very professional manner by Dave and Hayleigh.” Many thanks, Mr C Bone |
| “David, Thank you for all your work. Yourself & team have been very professional with the way you conducted my business, & I would recommend you to anyone looking for someone to look after their pensions.” Regards, Bernie C |
| “At a time when choices have to be made and the results may last a very long time then it is really important to have a Company like this in your corner. Very attentive and knowledgeable they made life a lot easier for me. So thanks team, I love your Customer Service and support.” Long may it last, Mr E Chapman |
| “I feel that I have received a very personal and professional service from Retirement Professionals and they have arranged an annuity that is roughly 5% greater than that offered by the major pension scheme I saved with. I recommend Retirement Professionals.” I will be looking at my insurance needs in the new year too. Happy Christmas to you all at RP. Regards, Peter E |
| “I have been very happy with the service I have received from Retirement Professionals, Jon and Hayleigh guided me through an area, I confess was very alien to me, and confusing. Many thanks, Mrs Graves |
| “Dear David, I wanted to thank Retirement Professionals (especially you) for arranging my annuity for me. As you know I was anxious about this, so it was a relief to speak to someone who was knowledgeable, had the patience to answer any and every query, listened to what I wanted, and then did their best to find the best deal for me. Although you did not give me financial advice, through accessing the information you gave me and talking to you I was able to decide what to do with my pension fund. Then you and your team kept me informed of every step until my annuity was completed. I am really pleased with my decision and your service, which was professional and efficient, but also friendly and approachable.”Yours sincerely, Miss Davies |
| “These days there are more options for what to do with your pension pot. Unfortunately, this means deciding what to do, which is not as straight forward as it was. So having decided the general direction of where I wanted to go , Retirement Professionals (who did not provide me financial advice) were able to give an informed view of my options and suggest the best route and then most importantly , scour the market and pick the best deals for me. From the moment I went ahead , they kept me informed of progress at every stage and made sure that the companies involved expedited quickly. The result was that every plan was complete and in place well in time for my retirement. The service was friendly, polite and very professional and a very pleasant experience through out.”My honest thoughts, Mr G Ellis |
| “I thought I should send you a quick note to say thanks again for providing such efficient, helpful and proactive service when I was considering what to do with a personal pension plan and setting up an annuity. When Standard Life informed me that they wouldn’t offer to provide an annuity, I must say I was a bit perplexed and daunted by the prospect of trying to sort it out for myself. Having gone online to get some information and obtain a few quotes, I’m delighted that you were the only one really to follow up and to offer just the sort of guidance I was looking for. I can’t believe it was all sorted out so quickly and painlessly. Thanks again for all your help.”Regards, Keith B |
| “To Retirement Professionals I would like to thank you for your professionalism and tenacity in resolving my pension transfer. I would recommend your company to anyone looking to invest maturing pension schemes. Many thanks.”Robert B |
| “After contacting many companies who were offering to get my retirement pension pot in order, it became pretty clear to me that this was going to be a bit of a mine field to navigate through. The Annuity quotes varied as much as £2000 per year depending on the company you were talking to and I had 3 different policies with different companies which had to be added together. Being a non resident in the UK was giving me major problems too, I had looked in depth into the QROPS type of pension available now for UK nationals living abroad but because I wanted total security with no risk to the pension pot I discounted this option.
All through the process which took me about 3 months to research, contacting many companies for quotes etc, researching everything on the internet extensively about the various options available to me, there was one company that always came out with the top quote. I had tried to get the best deal for my money and Retirement Professionals achieved this for me. As a company they were very professional and patient with me in their dealings and I just can’t say enough good things about them. I found that David and Hayleigh were absolutely fantastic in my dealings and when I actually decided which type of option I would go for they sent them all the documents. It was a fairly relaxing and trouble free procedure and everything was completed very promptly with no hassle or problems encountered, even although I am based in Vietnam. The commission they were paid for their work (which the insurance company took care of) was very reasonable indeed. I would therefore definitely have no reservations in recommending them for any of my friends overseas and in the UK to take care of getting the best pension income available. Anyone who uses them will come away from the transactions with a feeling they have dealt with a very very professional company with the best interests of their client always at the forefront.” A Connon |
| “I would just like to say a big thank you to Hayleigh and David for the excellent way they handled my private pension. I took a lot of time to decide as I was a bit wary of using people that I didn’t know, to sort out my private pension. But I shouldn’t have worried, they were very professional and informative throughout all the dealings. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone that I know who will be retiring in the near future Thanks again and hope to deal with you for my home insurance”Mr Butler |
| “Just a few lines to thank you for helping me to choose a Pension Annuity provider. I have been impressed from my first conversation with David, with the professional way he have looked in to the best options available for my lifetime annuity. I believe they have sought the best returns for me from the leading providers, allowing me the option to choose a different return solutions such as monthly and quarterly in arrears, also a 10 year family guarantee safeguard. Also explained at the time and confirmed in writing was the opportunity to take 25% of my pension tax free, which I personally made that decision. Finally, to link a separate private pension to the existing which was done really quick, mainly due to the persistence behind the scenes of Hayleigh, who pushed this well known provider to release the funds a lot quicker than they were originally prepared too. This was done by several phone calls with long waiting delays persistence and patience to get through to the correct person, much appreciated! With regards to contacting both David and Hayleigh, they have always been available each time I have wanted to speak with them or ask a question, they have both made time been efficient and offered a professional service. I would highly recommend them.“Mr G Foster |

“Retirement Professionals provided a first class service in setting up an annuity for me. This was despite the inefficiency of my previous pension provider who seemed to take every opportunity to delay matters. The Retirement Professionals consultant behaved very professionally and tirelessly to resolve the matter and was in constant communication to keep me informed of progress. I would recommend their services again”. C Charles |
| “When you retire and want to take a pension, you will need assistance to guide you through the process. Retirement Professionals, did exactly that. Not only did they assist in pulling together several personal pension pots, they informed me at every step of the way, that allowed me to make an informed decision that suited my pension needs. Very happy with the outcome and level of service Retirement Professionals provided.”
R Hamilton | “Deciding it was time to find an annuity that gave me the best deal I started looking at financial websites and came across Retirement Professionals quite by chance. What a find! I admit I had reservations about dealing with a company I didn’t know especially when it came to something as important as my pension as I knew I would only get one shot at it. A phone call from David Bell patiently explained the process to me and dispelled any anxieties I had and reassured me my hard earned pension pot was at no risk. Within 48 hrs I had the annuity quotes and 2 weeks later the first payment was in my bank account. Couldn’t believe how quick the process was and Retirement Professionals kept me informed along the way. Excellent service and the company is very aptly named. Many thanks to you and your staff.“

“When I was looking for a company to find me the best annuity quotations I did have a few responses from various companies and also spoke to some people before I decided on Retirement Professionals, this was following my first call which filled me with confidence from the very first conversation. Not only did they find me the best rate but the service was second to none. They did all the legwork for me and I just sat back and let it all happen. From initial quote to acceptance and commencement of payment was 7 days, what an achievement! With other companies they were suggesting 4 to 6 weeks for completion. Hayleigh was my annuity consultant from the first telephone call and she was excellent all the way through the process and kept in touch by phone or email at all stages I would highly recommend Retirement Professionals to carry out this type of work and I will be recommending them to friends and family.“ Best Regards, Mr Blair |

“Just to confirm receipt of finalised annuity plan of which I am very pleased, I would like to congratulate you and your team on an efficient and concise service you have supplied.

Well done and Thanks very much.“ Best Regards, P Lewis |
“As anyone nearing retirement age soon finds out the act of choosing a pension can be a bit daunting however, Retirement Professionals guided me through this minefield. David and Hayleigh kept me informed all the way through and truly lived up to their name (Professionals). They do come highly recommended and I would not hesitate to recommend this company for good pension advice.“ A Boyle |

“In January this year I realised that I am nearing that age when soon I will no longer be working, or more to the point I no longer want to work. As well as the state pension when I reach that magical age, I also have a private pension with my present employer. However I also realised I had a further two private pensions from an employer I worked with between 1990 to 2000. The thought arose what to do with them and what can you do with them, as I had no knowledge of pensions and how I could get to the money. An initial search on the internet found a number of sites which only made the issue more confusing, coupled with this is a lot of bad press regarding financial institutions and advisors. I took the plunge and picked three pension advisors as well as the two insurance companies my money was invested with to see what was on the table for the rest of my life. Although the two insurance companies gave me an estimate I had been warned that they would probably be low, not only from press releases but also from a friend who had left his search too late and suffered for it. After some initial correspondence and conversations I decided to let two companies vie for my benefit. Also during the consultation process the government changed the rule with regard to private pensions which meant more thought and explanations from the specialists. During the procedure of finding what to do Retirement professionals were very sympathetic to my ignorance of private pensions and explained everything to the letter in simple terms so even I could understand. Although there final annuity figure was the highest quote I received it was not the only reason I decided to let them look after my private pension requirements. I felt that whenever we spoke over the phone, or communicated by e-mail, everything was explained fully. I have already recommended them to some of my colleagues at work who are at a similar age with similar circumstances.“ Regards, Michael |
