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 |

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.” |

They dealt with my documentation very promptly and professionally and made the process quick and easy. I received my lump sum from the Pension Provider and I am successfully receiving my annuity from a reputable company, so I am very satisfied. 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 |
![]() 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.

I would certainly recommend Retirement Professionals to anyone preparing to enter the “Pensions minefield!” the company is very aptly named.” Thanks again for all your help, Mr A Smith |
![]() I was talked through all the options with great clarity and given quotes for all options I deemed relevant to me. This was done at my pace and without pressure or influence.

![]() 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 |

Goodbye Tension, Hello Pension!” Regards, Mr P Mallon |
![]() From making initial contact, the discussions regarding what options were open to me were explained in terms that were easily understandable, this was followed up with a hard copy of the discussions so I could digest the information and make my decisions. Having made my decision on the option I wanted to take up, Retirement Professionals sourced the best annuity available on the market and gave me the quotations showing several variables just to ensure I was happy with the figures etc. Once I was happy, Retirement Professionals conducted all the business, kept me informed at every stage of the process and at each stage I received a hard copy detailing the progress, with all the legal documentation appertaining to the process. I am now in receipt of my 25% tax free lump sum and am receiving a monthly pension.

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 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 |

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. |

![]() 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 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.” |

![]() 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 |
![]() 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 |
![]() 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 |
![]() 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 |

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 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 |
![]() 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 |

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 |

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 |

![]() “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 |
