What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Shackleton. Britain's financial adviser - Bristol draws consistent praise for adviser Dax Bayley, who is named across numerous accounts covering pensions and investments. Clients describe how he explains options thoroughly and in plain terms, easing anxieties around retirement planning and making the process feel straightforward. A number of reviews mention his depth of knowledge, particularly the grasp of investment detail maintained through volatile market conditions, and the practical guidance that follows. The handling of pension transfers features often, including the tracing of a forgotten fund and the administrative support provided when an original provider misplaced paperwork.

Speed of response and ease of contact are recurring themes, alongside a personable manner that puts people at ease whether they are new to financial advice or financially astute themselves. A long-standing relationship spanning several years is referenced, with trust placed in the advice without hesitation. Satisfaction with outcomes is another constant, from initial enquiries through to sustained professional relationships, with clear communication and reliable follow-through cited as hallmarks of the service, and the same named adviser credited for the positive results clients report.

I have been dealing with Dax for a couple of years now he has a warm personality and nothing is too much bother. When it’s review time it’s like catching up with an old friend.

Dax professionalism has been exemplary in advising and guiding me to achieve my retirement goals. Throughout this journey Dax has inspired confidence that what I was hoping for was both achievable and realistic. Dax's patience and willingness to go the extra mile to make this happen has been particularly commendable. I look forward to working with Dax over my retirement years.

From the very beginning I have found Dax to be very helpful and professional, providing a second to none service throughout. I have recently found a forgotten pension fund since my first review was posted. It was a bit of a minefield getting it transfered but he and the admin team got me through it. My original provider lost paperwork etc and because of that I was able to witness first hand just how thorough the Ellis Bates paperwork trial was and is. In fact four months after the original transfer request I am still waiting for three letters to arrive! Without Dax's patience and guidance I might still be waiting for the transfer today but that has been completed. Thank you Dax, and all the Ellis Bates team who played a part in dealing with me. If only all companies had a team that cared as much about their customers.

I had a teams meeting with Dax Bayley, to discuss my pensions. Dax was very helpful, and had a wealth of knowledge. He explained my options very clearly, and gave extremely practical, good advice. I would highly recommend Dax and the Ellis Bates team for truly professional service.
