IFAs Included

With his introduction as Compliance Consultant; Chris has brought with him as fresh pair of eyes and perspective. This I believe will protect the interests of the consumer and company within an ever changing financial landscape. His FOS background is invaluable and has made a positive impact on the Firm’s culture and the way we do business. Likewise, his experience as a financial adviser allows him to engage with our team from an adviser’s perspective. Excellent.

I have been reliant on Chris’s advice for the past 25 years; it has become second nature to use his expertise and ability to understand issues; to help guide my business through unchartered waters. His unbiased, clear thinking, pragmatic approach to the most complicated of issues and above all his attention to detail has been integral in the development of my business. I look forward to continuing to depend on his advice, however frank it may be, for many years to come.

I worked with Chris when we co-presented at a DB transfers workshop in early 2017. Although I haven’t had extensive dealings with Chris it was clear that he had a thorough understanding of the Ombudsman’s approach and also understood the issues and technicalities around DB transfers. I found that we typically agreed on the issues being discussed so he was clearly right!

Chris has been a valuable influence on how I view business from a client’s perspective. Our industry has been hell-bent on covering ourselves and the outcome of this has been overcomplicated client documents and communications. Chris has a simple yet logical approach and has a way of challenging our thinking which has led to positive changes in our practice and how we run our business. His services are an excellent investment for any IFA business.

I have had the pleasure of working with Chris since the start of this year. We’ve worked together on a number of projects and shared the same platform - all focused on helping IFAs deliver robust, personal, detailed and specific advice for their clients.

Chris is passinate about ensuring IFAs get credit for giving great advice to their clients. He has built a proposition whcih delivers practical support for IFAs, underpinned by his 15 years of experience at FOS. He’s smart, he’s focused, he’s experienced and he delivers.

Look him up - you won’t be disappointed.

Following a very positive FCA visit at Niche which looked at our DB transfer process, we decided we could build on the excellent feedback we had from the FCA and improve our processes and client communication even further. We brought in Chris to help us do this. Chris brought significant experience of client communication from his time at the FOS and was instrumental in helping Niche revise its communications. My senior team all thought the assistance Chris provided was excellent.

I genuinely feel our clients communications, especially our suitability reports, are now of a very high standard, they are completely personalised and easy to read and understand, much of this is down to the help Chris provided
