“CLIENT TESTIMONIALS”

I was first introduced to Sam when I was working and needed advice with the current savings I had with various institutions, as well as advice for longer term savings/investments. Sam spent a lot of time looking at my lifestyle; what my expectations would be when I retired etc. and we agreed a plan with an amount I could easily manage to save. I managed to retire early, and all was going well until very suddenly my husband died and the goal posts changed. Sam has been absolutely amazing. I don’t know what I would have done without his knowledge, help and advice with regard to my husband’s estate, which was far from straight forward. Sam liaised with my solicitor and other financial institutions where my husband held Stocks & Shares, ISA’s and cash. I feel that Sam goes the extra mile to ensure that his clients are given the best service and advice possible for their investments, explaining clearly the pros and cons. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam to you and my friends and indeed have done so. Thank you, Sam

If you are looking for financial advice delivered in a clear and concise way, then Sam is certainly the man to go to. I have been advised by Sam over the past few years, regarding investments and pension plans, and he is always very well prepared with the relevant facts and figures. This aspect of his professionalism coupled with a genuine interest in me as the client makes Sam a very approachable adviser. I would recommend you to contact him if you are mulling over your finances!

Marion A

Client, Bristol

I first met Sam in 2009 and was immediately drawn to his happy, calm and reassuring manner. I had just retired and needed guidance in investing some money but I had absolutely no idea how to approach this minefield! Sam became my Knight in shining armour and I have stayed with him ever since. I trust his advice and knowledge. With his guidance, my approach and confidence to investments is improving but I still need Sam’s guiding hand. I will say to anyone wanting to invest for the future…find Sam Donovan. Sam is now not only my financial adviser, but a friend. I know I can call him at anytime and if he is unavailable, I leave a message knowing he will respond. Thank you, Sam.
