Testimonials
Ms LR
, Pension Fund Manager (based in Zurich)
As a person well versed in investing for a large institutional pension fund, but with hardly any idea of the nitty-gritty and nuances of annuities, I was highly appreciative of the experience and expert knowledge that you provided. I liked you being in charge of that process and also your input as to the quality of pension providers, their rates and requirements. The most important thing was your knowledge of the market and how it worked. The execution was also very efficient, considering the distance (Switzerland) and the turbulence in the financial markets. I also appreciated having you as my base in the UK, I doubt I could have managed it without your help in advising, liasing and tying up loose ends. I look forward to working with you again.

I have received a range of financial services advice and products from Cavendish Brooke since its inception and prior to that from its principal Execs in their previous organisations - during the last 20 years. Foremost amongst the products and services have been personal pension provision, long term income and capital planning, life and critical illness cover and mortgages.
I have always been impressed by the level of service provided in terms of: market knowledge, product independence and a commitment to client management with a view to sustaining a long-term partnership. On the few occasions that suitable products for my circumstances have not been available, Cavendish Brooke has always been very clear to me on this point and this has undoubtedly helped build the 'trusted advisor' status in which I hold them.
I have no hesitation in recommending Cavendish Brooke.

Financial planning is one of those things that we all say we will get round to when we have time or we think that we know best and that paying for advice is something that we would rather not do. But planning for a comfortable retirement is one of the key things that needs to be done and you need good advice for it as it is a long term decision not short tactical ones. This is where you need a solid strong character that you can rely on to be around for the longer term. I have now been working with Nigel Goodman and his team at Cavendish Brooke for over 15 years. In the beginning I had no idea what my financial needs in the longer term would be or that I needed help as retirement was a long way off. A colleague recommended Nigel to me and in our first meeting Nigel immediately challenged me as to what my goals were and how I would meet them. This shock tactic paid off in my mind as it made me realise that I did need to plan my future and that I needed help. I look back at those early days and my own tiny steps at playing the stock market and failing due to not having the time to manage my portfolio actively and am extremely glad that I met Nigel and trusted my activities and future financial security into his skilled hands.
Nigel's advice, guidance and support over the past years has been invaluable in helping me and my family reach a far more comfortable financial position than we ever could have done on our own. He has helped with pension planning, cash management, mortgages for several complex property transactions and has been proactive in helping me maximise my tax efficient investment and savings. I have been impressed with the way that he manages his own business and has grown it organically. I have also recommended Nigel and his team to a number of my family, friends and colleagues which is something that I would not do if I did not firmly believe that they would gain value from talking to him. In every case those that speak to him have been impressed with him and his approach and the value and options that he can bring them. I therefore have no difficulty in recommending Cavendish Brooke to anyone that needs long term financial planning advice and guidance.

I have been consulting with Cindy Griffith for the last 2 years. I was introduced to her via a referral from a work colleague who used Cindy to source a mortgage. Since calling her for the same reason and receiving excellent service and advice, I have been using her services to obtain advice on financial planning and pensions.
I have already twice utilised her services to transfer pension balances and on both occasions the process ran smoothly and balances were promptly transferred. She has also contacted me with investment opportunities that she felt best suited my lifestyle and does not force you to sign into deals that you are not comfortable with. Her advice is always independent and she is not afraid to provide guidance even if it would not benefit her financially. She always puts the best interests of her client first above her own personal gain. Cindy and her team always offer prompt service and they are all always cheerful and willing to help.
On the basis of receiving first class service and advice I have referred work colleagues and friends to Cindy and team knowing that they will not be let down. This is something that I will continue to do. Should you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Making provision for retirement and old age has to be one of the most important things you do. Making the most of the money that you put aside is the key and the best decision ever made was to entrust my affairs to Cavendish Brooke.
I know my own business but I needed help and advice when it came to investments and pensions. Even if I did have some knowledge I would not have had the time to devote to it. I was too busy earning the money.
In the years leading up to retirement great care was taken to ensure that what was proposed was what I needed and if circumstances changed those changes were taken into consideration. It was very comforting having Cavendish Brooke's knowledge and experience working for me.
I have recommended Cavendish Brooke to others and will continue to do so. Their friendship and support was beyond value.

Cavendish Brooke has been an excellent partner over the years. I am always completely confident that their recommendations are well researched and provide me with the best options. Good financial advice only works with good administrative support and follow up, and in this area they excel.
For either routine financial advice, or something more innovative and creative, I would have no hesitation in recommending Cavendish Brooke.

I have worked with Cindy Griffith over a number of years both in relation to my personal financial affairs and in relation to her giving advice to several of my clients.
In my experience Cindy always gives outstanding professional advice. She is extremely knowledgeable and highly perceptive of the specific needs of the individual client. There is never any generic advice, rather there is properly considered "bespoke" advice.
Cindy is responsive to requests for advice and all matters are dealt with swiftly and professionally at all times.
