Perspective (North West) Ltd- Manchester Office

Barry has been dealing with our financial affairs for five years. He has provided excellent, clear advice throughout that time - often simplifying complicated issues in an accessible way. As well as being professionally adept, offering instant solutions to a variety of sometimes challenging situations and always responding immediately to queries, he and Adele have gone more than the extra mile recently by providing very human support while I coped with difficult health issues. We would have no hesitation recommending him and the team. Sent from the all-new AOL app for iOS

I came to know John very well as he was the financial adviser at the solicitors who handled my case after a road traffic accident in May 2000. Once the case was settled and the compensation I was due was paid out, John handled the investment & management of the monies to ensure that I would be covered for the rest of my life, as it was unlikely that I would be able to work in the same capacity which I done prior to the accident. I'd initially been very concerned that the monies would not last me for the duration of my life, but as the months/years went by, John would regularly send me reports of the gains/losses that the invested funds were making (more the former than the latter!). He would also periodically send authorisation forms for me to sign when he identified that a particular fund in my investment portfolio would generate better returns if invested in an alternative fund. It's now been nearly 15 years since I received the original compensation figure and, despite numerous (and some fairly significant) withdrawals - along with the monthly stipend I receive as my "income" - the value of the investment has remained pretty much the same as it was when the money was first invested. Had the money been simply been put into a high interest bank account, there is *no way* I'd have seen anything *like* the returns I've seen since John has been managing the investment, (And please note, that the level of risk ascribed to the portfolio is classed as "medium", meaning that no funds are invested in high risk investments.) When John left the solicitors to start Edgmoor, I was given the option of either moving my portfolio to Edgmoor or remaining with the solicitor and letting someone I didn't know manage my portfolio. The decision was obviously a no-brainer! John periodically comes down to me in Milton Keynes from where he is in Manchester for a face-to-face review of my portfolio, which is excellent as I get the opportunity to discuss my investment and he can advise me on any withdrawals I'm considering making. (On top of this, like myself, he is something of an artisan and makes things in his workshop in his spare time, so we get the opportunity to "talk shop" and about the projects we're each working on!) I **cannot** recommend Edgmoor highly enough. I. Lewis-Coker

We cannot recommend Edgmoor financial planners too highly, their experience and no nonsense approach was really refreshing, as a couple who had gone through life diligently saving for our retirement, the myriad of decisions we faced when the time finally came was really daunting. Thankfully John and the team were there to explain and help us understand our options, bust the jargon, ease our worries and guide us in the right direction. John And Ellen Dowling.

"Professional advice and management of three portfolios. Taking great trouble to understand our situation and giving prudent advice on money management which has protected our investments during difficult economic conditions. Unfailingly courteous, polite and very competent service.

John has always been accomodating,helpful and down to earth.Any questions have always been answered promptly.I would recommend them for any financial advice which they review regularly.

I have known John now for around 23/24 years. During those years John has been my personal financial adviser looking after my financial interests after I received a settlement from a serious road accident which left me paralysed some 29 year's ago. During our time together I have found John to be extremely knowledgeable in the worlds finacial markets. John has also given and continues to give me excellent advice and clear finacial guidance on all my investments and I look forward to many more years to come with John and Barry and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the services of Edgemoor final planners.

I was put in contact with John after I received a settlement for a serious injury I suffered. Over the past 12 years he has advised me and managed my fund professionally and it has continued to grow. He is is easily approachable and knows the markets well.
