What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Radcliffe & Co Independent Financial Advisers has built a client base in Southampton that returns over many years, often spanning family generations, according to accounts of its work. Clear explanations are a repeated theme, with pensions and investments set out in plain language that helps people plan for retirement with confidence.

Named advisers appear again and again: Grainger Thomas is credited with insight and with untangling complicated portfolios, Darren Maule with patience and clear communication, Charlotte with guiding clients through personal protection insurance at affordable rates suited to newly self-employed circumstances. Several accounts note the value of long relationships, describing investments monitored and adjusted as markets shifted, and advisers such as Marc Cumberledge and Chris Headford taking time to understand individual needs before recommending a strategy.

Jacqui and her team are described as friendly and knowledgeable, Katie Brickway as professional during retirement planning, and James Revell as a steady source of ongoing support through uncertain periods. A detail many reviews return to is that staff treat clients as people rather than simply as holders of portfolios, and that contact remains reliable long after transactions complete. Some clients have introduced family members to the firm, a sign of trust earned through pension transfers and investment reviews.

We've been using Radcliffe's for a good number of years, and continue to be very happy with their services, both for investments and for pension management. I always recommend them to anyone who asks. In particular, Grainger Thomas has been very helpful to myself, particularly in recommending high-performing investments, and Darren Maule has been very helpful (and patient!) with another family member in simplifying a complicated portfolio following health issues. It's good to know that we are in safe hands and don't need to worry. Thanks chaps!

I can highly recommend engaging with Grainger Thomas from Radcliffe. He gives great insight and has given us clarity about planning for the future. He uses straight forward language that creates clarity. Highly recommend.

I run 3 different businesses and Chairman of a Rugby Club so not naive to financial matters but the advice given by Radcliffe especially our dedicated account manager Jack is invaluable and essential to planning a fruitful retirement as well as Inheritance Tax Planning. Do not hesitate give them a call. Wayne Hausen

Chris Headford has looked after pensions pot for many years with excellent advice and professionalism. The pensions he looked after have enabled us to have a secure retirement as a result of his diligence. Over the last year re our retirement, Katie Brickway has dealt with our various pension choices. We cannot praise her highly enough for her excellent advice, guidance, professionalism and friendliness. We have no hesitation in recommending Radcliffe for financial advice.
