I was made at ease, every step was explained to me fully, if because of my hearing I had to ask him to repeat no problem . apologies I am unable to remember the adviser name. But nothing was too much trouble for him. I asked about my other accounts interest on year for tax reason. Which he kindly gave me. Reviewed on: 31st May 2024
