spoke to harry from your team regarding trouble creating an illustration, he was very helpful and anything he didn't know, he went and confirmed with another team member.

This was my first call for many years. I wanted to understand some figures on monthly payments from my SIPP. Veneta has arranged for a member of the relevant team to call me within 48 hours. She was efficient and helpful.
