Some comments from Anne’s clients..

“A successful relationship with a financial adviser is one formed on trust. Having worked with Anne for several years now, I know I can trust her to provide sound advice and to recommend appropriate products that she would use herself.”

“Anne has provided me with clear, timely, independent financial advice across a large range of financial products. She has taken time to understand my circumstances/future needs and tailored her recommendations accordingly. I feel that my retirement will be more financially secure as a result and am very happy with the service provided.”

“Anne has for over 10 years advised the company and directors on the best pension plans for all our employees.  Not only does Anne have a great understanding of our individual needs, she is always approachable and able to explain matters in layman’s terms to all employees. I would have no hesitation in recommending Anne and Hannay Wealth to any company looking at setting up or changing their financial advisor.a

“We always seek advice from Anne regarding complex personal financial arrangements.  Whilst pension options are very flexible these days, the regulations and tax regime are certainly not straightforward. Her expert advice provides excellent value for money.”
