“Our members are diverse and we expect that most can benefit from financial advice whatever their stage in life.

“Through our experience, we have a deep understanding of what Building Society members are looking for from a financial adviser and choice is at the heart of our offering.
“Our independence means we can recommend products from multiple providers, which gives our clients peace of mind that they’re receiving advice tailored to their unique situation.
“As always, the first meeting is at our expense with no obligation to proceed.”
