Visited Ravenswood branch today for a meeting with Laura Edwards, specifically to discuss how to invest proceeds from a recent house sale. I act on behalf of my friend as his LPA and it is his funds we discussed for investment in relation to his future care costs. Laura immediately understood the situation and provided good information on the products available. Laura also explained the differences between the options. I chose two products and we opened the necessary accounts. I came away happy with what we had achieved .... I didn't expect anything less !! Thanks Laura. Read more Read less
