What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Retirement planning is the subject that surfaces most often in accounts of this Northampton firm, with customers describing the consolidation of several pension pots, the transfer and setting up of SIPPs, the oversight of investment portfolios and the move into retirement. Advisers are named repeatedly and praised for the way they explain complex arrangements in everyday language that non-specialists can follow. Dave Baldwin, Trevor Panther and Shaun Jellis each appear across the feedback, credited with patience, courtesy and a willingness to answer questions at any stage.

A theme running through many comments is the depth and practicality of the guidance, which reviewers say is tailored to their own circumstances rather than delivered as a standard package, and several note that the relationship continues long after the initial work through ongoing servicing. Communication is another constant, with updates passed on without prompting and paperwork handled from start to finish. One client recalls a home visit to talk through the options, while another highlights the calm, unhurried manner shown during meetings. Confidence in the recommendations and satisfaction with the eventual outcome recur throughout.

Been with FG Watts for 10 years now since I asked them to support my private pension. My advisor Trevor Panther has been consistent for that period, and supported me through the management of my investment portfolio. There have been personal issues managing the portfolio during that period, which Trevor supported me through. My support and clarity has been professional with my words laymen’s communication. In simple words I would recommend FG Watts, they are professional with a personal touch.

I recently used FG Watts Financial Advisers Ltd to help me with my retirement pension. I had a few pension plans from over the years, and I wanted to bring them together in a way that would most benefit me. Mr Dave Baldwin talked me through everything, clearly explaining my opinions and I'm very happy with the outcome. I felt well supported throughout the process - no questions left unanswered. I can highly recommend this company!

I have been a small investor with F G Watts for many years. The advice and service I have received has always been friendly and professional and suited my needs perfectly. I particularly like the fact that I have seen the same trusted adviser for all the years I have been dealing with them. I have always had very good service.

Dave Baldwin has handled financial matters for both my husband and I for many years. He has been both friendly and professional throughout. His knowledge and insight are invaluable and we are very happy to rely, really quite heavily 😁, on Dave. Thank you Dave Baldwin and HG Watts!!

I've dealt with F G Watts over many years first with Dave Patrick and now with Dave Baldwin. They have given me excellent advice and expertise with regards to my pension investments and are always available to answer any questions I may have. They offer a first class service and are honest and trustworthy and totally professional, explaining investments and pension planning in a clear and understandable way. I would highly recommend their services.

I am writing this review on behalf of my friend. Nick and June Bazeley who visited Shaun Jellies for their Government Pension. Their words… " If you need advice & Support with anything this company offers we would 100% recommend. Shaun constantly kept us updated with the process and progress of our issue and resolved it as quickly as he could also the lady who answered the phone on my initial call to make an appointment after ringing round others.. this lady was refreshing and so helpful I was immediately sold in using this company for my Pension issues. This was stress free, quick and easy process. For someone who has never been in this situation to have to deal with this level of financial support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it so simple. " We will always go to FG Watts for any future advice if we need it. Mrs June Bazeley.

I visited F G Watts Financial Advisors on the 29th February. I had an arranged appointment with Shaun Jellis to talk about some pension advice. I found Shaun from start to finish to be an utmost professional. He was friendly and courteous and made me a nice cup of coffee whilst he read through some paperwork that I brought with me. Nothing was too much trouble and his explanations were easy to understand, clear and precise. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again and I much doubt if you would find a much better one!
