My wife and I have been customers of Simon Brannigan since 2002 when I decided to take early retirement. I attended a seminar which he conducted on financial issues. Since then he has efficiently masterminded and advised on all our financial issues - my pensions, mortgages, investments, wills, power of attourney, the sale of a property, tax advice and allowances. He has always responded quickly to any issues we have raised - finding time to visit for discussion, or sending a helpful email.E.T, Holdaway. Weston-Super-Mare
