What our clients say

Chancellor’s advice has always been personalised, professional and knowledgeable. It is delivered in a friendly and well-explained manner with time to consider each decision. We would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend them.

Mr & Mrs F, Bolton

I have worked with Chancellor for a number of years and found the financial advice and support that they give to be invaluable. A tailored and flexible approach to financial planning is important in my situation and that approach is expertly delivered.

Roz Cuschieri, Chairwoman, Non-Executive Director, Adviser and CEO

I was introduced to David Torkington almost three decades ago and we have worked very well together ever since. I always know if David is involved, our pension and protection schemes will be dealt with very professionally and our employees will be well looked after.

Chancellor’s technical expertise, down-to-earth approach and great service levels really help their long-standing clients to navigate the financial maze.

Martin Ainscough, CBE

As I am approaching retirement, I am confident that the team at Chancellor will give me the best guidance to ensure my future is financially secure. Financial planning over the long term has been critical and the long-term relationship with the team has been central to the success.

Gordon Carlton

Dave helped me navigate through all the pension information when I wanted to change providers, and to this day continues to act as a great support and somehow manages to explain pensions to all our UK team in such a way that everyone understands.

Rachael Herscovitz

Nothing is too much trouble for David or his team, and on renewals, checks are always made to obtain the best cost to keep our business services competitive. My department is only as good as the advisers I have on board, and I wouldn’t move away from my adviser easily.

Karen Lee

When my mother went into residential care, I requested advice on investing the proceeds of her house to cover care home fees. The advice I received resulted in significant IHT savings on her estate when she died. I was treated with understanding and patience.
