What our clients say

  • "I asked Wendy Cochran to review the benefits of transferring a pension scheme. The report was comprehensive, insightful and completely free. They recommended I take no action. Given this denied them an opportunity to earn a fee I genuinely believe they acted in my best interests."
    Andrew Pattinson, Leeds
  • "Very pleased with the thoroughness of the process; with the clarity of the analysis; the range of options provided; and the explanations and advice given. Reasonable fees and prompt service."
    Grant Hazelton, Aldershot
