What our Clients say

Pension and Investment options made clear

Chris Ellis of Optimum Financial Solutions has worked with Excitech for a number of years and provides pension services and investment management and advice to both Excitech and myself as an individual. Chris has helped us through the maze of Workplace Pensions and regularly introduces us to new options for investments and pension considerations. He conducts regular reviews of the services Optimum provide and keeps us up to date with new legislation and provides valuable insights into financial developments that may impact on myself or the company.

Chris has a thorough knowledge of the current options on the market for both pensions and investments and provides clear, well supported information and advice. This allows me to make well informed decisions at both a personal level and on behalf of the company.

Having dealt with many IFAs over the years and recognising that they gain their income from commissions on financial services, we feel Chris and Optimum are always very open with regard to charges and fees and have their client's interests at heart rather than simply trying to maximise their income.

I wish you every success in working with Optimum in the future.

Adrian Atkinson, Enfield, Middlesex
