I was given the financial advisor…

I was given the financial advisor called Olivia Begg by foresters financial and she was a very polite, kind and patient lady who gave very detailed but also easy to understand explanations on all the subjects concerning myself about ISAs. She tried her best to answer all of my questions and did a very good job at helping me with my queries. I would recommend people to foresters financial and would especially like to give Olivia as an advisor a special recommendation as I think she did a great job helping me. Thank you foresters! Just wanted to add, Jesus loves you all! God Bless!

Meeting the advisor face to face in person and not via a video conference on Teams. We were attracted to Foresters as it purported to be a fraternal organisation involving a community. We do not get this feeling from them using Teams video meetings. Nor from the reaction we have had from the London HQ - impersonal and self important . We only continue to invest due to service received from the advisor who visits us

Foresters Financial Investment Support

Cheryl Phillips has supported our family for over a year now, initially when our eldest son's CTF was maturing...she provided great, honest guidance to help him understand the importance of investing for the future and establish good habits for his financial future.
She now helps several members of our family understand and manage their finances with warmth, knowledge and honesty.

Recommend

I've had a stocks and shares ISA with Foresters for about 6 years. I can schedule a review with a financial advisor any time at no cost, either video call or in person, they always have useful information to share and I've always felt they give impartial advice, not just about their products. Recently setup Lifetime ISAs for my children.

Professional Representative

The representative was very professional and considerate. He was attentive, as always, and took all of our requests into account.
Perhaps the London HQ staff that I have dealt with could take a leaf out of his book. When I dealt with them I was on the verge of withdrawing all of my money and my wifes. However it was after speaking to the representative, Robert, that we remained with the Foresters.

Excellent, clear advice

Mark Barron was the advisor who helped me and my son navigate through transitioning from his child trust fund to adult savings products. He was spot on. He never overused jargon and communicated with my son in simple clear language that made the underlying principles and thinking really clear and easy to follow for my son.
He never felt pushy and “trying to sell” and his style put my son at ease and quickly built trust.
He is a real asset to Foresters and (as someone who was an executive in Financial Services) I was very impressed with all aspects of his style.

Thank you Mark

Cheryl is an amazing advisor

Cheryl is so lovely and very good at advising both young people like me that are new to saving and investing, and people with more experience . She is very clear and takes you step by step so you know exactly where your money is going and how it would benefit you. Cheryl has your best interests at heart and makes sure you get the most out of your money. I would thoroughly recommend her as an advisor !
