Excellent service from start to finish

Excellent service from start to finish. I had been pondering on what to do with my small Sipp pension pot and a small works pension for a while, after contacting a few advisors I opted for Pense and I am so glad I did. The advice and service I received was excellent. From the initial appointment meetings through to the advice meetings and the ongoing communications flow throughout everything was top notch. All questions were answered clearly and options were explained simply. No hard sell anywhere along the line. Perfect. A big mention to all the team, Nick, Amber, Chloe, Katie, Harriet & Steve and all others in the background. Keep up the good work.

Was totally lost where to turn to...

From my initial contact with Pense I was pleased with their handling and clarity. Thoroughly professional and attention to detail faultess. My contact, Harriet Lyall, was very much hands-on and answered any queries I had promptly and clearly. Would definitely recommend to anyone lost in the mire of Pensions.

Good Service and very competitive fee

The first adviser firm I started to engaged with was pushy to the extreme and with high fee tag to go with it. So thank you Pense for restoring my faith in IFA's. The communications from them were few, but gave updates on the progress of my Annuity at each stage. Their fee was fixed for this service and was very competitive.

Clear, honest, disinterested advice.

Pense did very little for me … but what they did do was excellent, and that’s the point. The best option for me, in my unusual circumstances, was not to purchase any financial product and Pense told me that in plain terms. So, Pense made nothing out of me but I got very good advice. If I need further pension advice, I shall surely turn to Pense.

Great team, personable and professional

What a relief to deal with Pense. I didn't realise the nature of questions one is asked when taking advice on pensions and my first experience from a large company was dreadful; aggressive,rude and no concept of service. James at Pense did a super job and brought a balance of humanity and professionalism. Once I decided to proceed, the administration team of Heather and Chloe and manager Harriett were again very personable and professional, both essential qualities. It is very rare for me to give 5 stars for anything, but in this instance totally deserved. I wish more providers were like Pense.

Annuity support

This company were helpful and professional from start to finish. They ensured I fully understood the process and kept me informed every step of the way.
From the start I was informed which staff would be in touch with me . I was sent emails and photos so I felt very secure in the knowledge of who I was dealing with.
It is not often you can say a company goes above and beyond but I certainly felt this one did and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Very professional service

I’m very happy with the service provided by Pense in arranging my retirement pension. Both the advice received from Kirk Yeomans and the subsequent organisation by Amber Garner have been completed professionally and with regular communication of progress. I can highly recommend them.

I was looking for an annuity's company and saw that Pense was well recommended. They were honest from the start , asked the right questions & seems like they wanted to do the best for me rather than just in it for the £2500 commission. I dealt with 3 of their employees who always followed up with an email with all the information I needed . I have now invested my annuity for a further 5 years and have a nice tax free sum to play with thanks to Pense . I would recommend them to anyone worried who to trust with their pension .
