Chris provided a thorough and patient explanation of financial possibilities for my situation. He listened and was respectful of my goals. He erred on the side of conservatism, which for my current situation is possibly for the best. I look forward to my investment performing well and to our yearly review meeting.

To date, I have been happy with the prompt help I have received in transferring my pension monies and additional capital to new investment funds, which are much more tax efficient. I would not have been able to organise my financial affairs without this support and advice.

I am emailing you regarding Daniel Francis. I am unable to express how kind and helpful he has been in a time of extreme distress to myself and my wife regarding a pension scheme. He gave us the correct advice in a manner that was easy to understand when no one else could.
In one day he answered all our questions and in a very understanding and caring way, despite it being unwelcome news it clarified the matter and has at least enabled us to move forward. Could you pass on both mine and my wife’s gratitude and thanks and please feel free to publish this review on your website.

I compliment you on following up so reliably. So often these days, in my experience, promised follow-up doesn’t materialise, or at least not in a timely way.
You have been spot on every time in getting back to me with updates within the timescales you have specified, and I’m very grateful to you for your courteous and professional approach. Without wishing to embarrass you or patronise you in any way at all, I will say that you are a credit to Fairey Associates.

We have found Michaela to be empathic, considered and professional in her role as advisor. Her ability to listen, reflect and impart information has been useful and supportive, particularly as we move significantly closer to a period of our lives, retirement, which is important to us in terms of personal dignity and relative autonomy.

I contacted Fairey Associates for help with my pensions. I expected to have to wait a few days for an appointment but Paul came and saw me that afternoon. We spoke on the phone a few times after our initial meeting, as he wanted to get the best possible deal for me due to my bad health. Before long, he returned to me with his recommendations and we proceeded.
Paul was very helpful and I would certainly recommend Fairey Associates to my friends and family. Thank you Paul and Fairey Associates for all of your help.

EK, Braintree, January 2015
I was very pleased with my experience with Fairey Associates and the service provided by Keith Cornelius. I was able to achieve my aims and would, I know, have struggled to have done this alone. It was so much easier having the help of someone who actually knew what they were doing!
The pensions arena is a complicated one and the information given by pension providers is not always easily understood by a lay-person. To have Keith’s advice and explanations given in more comprehensible terms was, therefore, invaluable. Although the process took a little longer than I had hoped, I realise it was quite a complex task and Keith always kept me updated as to progress.
I have retained Keith to monitor the performance of my, albeit modest, pension plan, and I would certainly recommend his services and Fairey Associates to anyone needing any aspect of financial guidance.
WLF, Bishop's Stortford, January 2015
Arun has a polite and easy manner, conveying often complex information in a straightforward and informative way. He has always been extremely efficient in terms of responding to any queries raised during this process.
His independent advice has been invaluable and I would certainly recommend him to others.

Michaela was always very helpful, informative and efficient. She was very flexible about accommodating an evening appointment.

XT, Norwich, November 2014
I found Keith to be a very friendly well informed advisor. He made all the right enquiries for my specific needs, giving me several alternatives before coming up with the perfect solution. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends in the future and look forward to working with him again as the policy progresses.
DSF, Manningtree, September 2014
I would not have any hesitation in recommending Fairey Associates to anyone or using their services in the future myself if the need arose. The service, advice & support I received from Keith & Fairey Associates was first class & the problems that occurred were dealt with in a professional & efficient manner.

We found Fairey, “Ed and his team” to prove extremely professional when dealing with us and very helpful in areas that were not their concern! We would not hesitate in recommending Fairey Associates to family and friends which we already have.
MN, Hornchurch, July 2014
I was very pleased with the professional attention given to my annuity. Although some changes were made by the government, I am satisfied with the outcome. Should my family or friends need advice, I will have no hesitation but to recommend Fairey Associates Ltd.
CR, Lowestoft, July 2014
Michaela was very friendly and made me feel immediately that I could trust her, she was very helpful and kept us informed of what to expect and timescales. The process was explained to us, we were kept up to date throughout the process by telephone and email. Thank you Michaela, I would definitely recommend you to my friends and family.
WP, Ipswich, July 2014
My first contact with Ed Fairey was through Helm Godfrey in early 2008 and has been continuous ever since. A great deal has been achieved since our first meeting and has been very successful. Initially Rob Connell was Ed’s assistant and took over my portfolio a couple of years or so ago. It has been and is a very happy association and to me both Rob & Ed are valued friends as much as business associates. The service, advice and help is first class and personally look forward to a continuing and active association.
ES, London, June 2014
I was very impressed with the level of professional advice, which was presented in easy to understand terminology, and the efficiency with which my financial matters were brought to a speedy conclusion. Your organization presents a pleasing combination of professionalism and a relaxed personal approach. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.
PK, Witham, May 2014
My knowledge of things financial is limited so contacting Ed was a stroke of luck. I had no idea how to plan for my financial future, but now feel confident that I will be well catered for. Ed clearly knows his stuff and managed to explain quite complicated topics in an understandable way. And if you don't get it the first time, he'll explain again! He's forensic in his questioning, but this shows he's listening, really listening to what you have to tell him. There was never any need to repeat things as he immediately 'got it', and gave me very helpful tips from the start. Following his advice, I've now taken out an annuity, to replace an existing income that I'm about to lose. In addition, other income is to be generated by investing money in areas I simply would not have thought of. He has an easy-going, friendly manner which I think is important. And dare I say it, my two or three meetings with him have been fun as well as useful - a difficult combination to pull off. Others at 'Team Fairey' that I've had dealings with have been just as helpful. I have already recommended Ed to friends.
PG, London, March 2014
Thank you for finalising the bond. I have received my WRAP login but haven’t activated it yet. I’d like to say a special thanks to Nicola Drohan for her patience and support throughout this process.
CM, Wirral, May 2014
We approached Mr Fairey to discuss our pension annuity and the advice we were given was first class. He was very knowledgeable and very patient as we had no idea what to do. We had two meetings with him and his staff who were very helpful and friendly and even phoned after working hours to speed things up. Would definitely recommend!
GP, Colchester, February 2014
I cannot thank Michaela enough for what she has done for me, it will make a huge difference. Once again thank you very much what you did.
KW, Cambridge, Jan 2014
I was very happy when Keith (Cornelius) arranged this policy. He gave me a choice of plans and explained the pros and cons of each one. I felt very confident with Keith's advice and he kept in contact throughout the process. He also helped me with a pension plan too.
RU, Colchester, Dec 2013
I was one of Fairey Associates first clients having been introduced to Ed some seven years ago by a walking friend.
Having my finances in all different areas Ed clearly explained what he felt to be most beneficial for someone in my personal circumstances. In spite of their being one area on which we did not agree, at no time did Ed pressurise me. He understood my risk level and by having an annual investment review this gives an opportunity to see if one’s circumstances have changed or not.
His returns have given me over 50% on my capital and foreseeing the credit crunch made sure that my portfolio benefitted by getting me out before the drop and hence having the funds to invest when prices fell. I am a small investor and yet I feel I am treated with as much respect as those who have a larger portfolio.
He has great integrity and I trust his suggestions as he certainly has made my money grow for me. When times are hard he is always supportive in whatever action I feel I need to make and knows what to do for my benefit. It has been a pleasure dealing with Fairey Associates – Ed and his team – and I am delighted that the company is going from strength to strength.
I have every faith in Ed’s judgment and would highly recommend him as a Financial Advisor.
Hilda S, London, Feb 2013
The service I received from Fairey Associates was excellent. My knowledge of finance and investments is limited - Ed and his team carefully talked me through the various options. Follow up guidance and communication was first class.
CM, Wirral

Ed Fairey and Sean Thompson made the process of buying an annuity easy for me. They did all the legwork and found the best available deal at the time. I would certainly recommend Fairey Associates and would definitely use them again.

The pensions arena is a complicated one and the information given by pension providers is not always easily understood by a lay-person. To have Keith’s advice and explanations given in more comprehensible terms was, therefore, invaluable. Although the process took a little longer than I had hoped, I realise it was quite a complex task and Keith always kept me updated as to progress.
I have retained Keith to monitor the performance of my, albeit modest, pension plan, and I would certainly recommend his services and Fairey Associates to anyone needing any aspect of financial guidance.

Arun has a polite and easy manner, conveying often complex information in a straightforward and informative way. He has always been extremely efficient in terms of responding to any queries raised during this process.
His independent advice has been invaluable and I would certainly recommend him to others.

Michaela was always very helpful, informative and efficient. She was very flexible about accommodating an evening appointment. She was always well prepared and could explain things and answer our questions. She answered all emails in a timely fashion. She was not at all pushy with her advice, which I greatly appreciated.

I found Keith to be a very friendly well informed advisor. He made all the right enquiries for my specific needs, giving me several alternatives before coming up with the perfect solution. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to friends in the future and look forward to working with him again as the policy progresses.

I would not have any hesitation in recommending Fairey Associates to anyone or using their services in the future myself if the need arose. The service, advice & support I received from Keith & Fairey Associates was first class & the problems that occurred were dealt with in a professional & efficient manner. I would also like to thank Keith & Fairey Associates for all their help.

If only the rest of the Financial Services industry were as slick as Ed and his team.
DRA, Braintree, August 2014
We found Fairey, “Ed and his team” to prove extremely professional when dealing with us and very helpful in areas that were not their concern! We would not hesitate in recommending Fairey Associates to family and friends which we already have.
MN, Hornchurch, July 2014
I was very pleased with the professional attention given to my annuity. Although some changes were made by the government, I am satisfied with the outcome. Should my family or friends need advice, I will have no hesitation but to recommend Fairey Associates Ltd.
CR, Lowestoft, July 2014
Michaela was very friendly and made me feel immediately that I could trust her, she was very helpful and kept us informed of what to expect and timescales. The process was explained to us, we were kept up to date throughout the process by telephone and email. Thank you Michaela, I would definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

My first contact with Ed Fairey was through Helm Godfrey in early 2008 and has been continuous ever since. A great deal has been achieved since our first meeting and has been very successful. Initially Rob Connell was Ed’s assistant and took over my portfolio a couple of years or so ago. It has been and is a very happy association and to me both Rob & Ed are valued friends as much as business associates. The service, advice and help is first class and personally look forward to a continuing and active association.
ES, London, June 2014
I was very impressed with the level of professional advice, which was presented in easy to understand terminology, and the efficiency with which my financial matters were brought to a speedy conclusion. Your organization presents a pleasing combination of professionalism and a relaxed personal approach. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.

My knowledge of things financial is limited so contacting Ed was a stroke of luck. I had no idea how to plan for my financial future, but now feel confident that I will be well catered for. Ed clearly knows his stuff and managed to explain quite complicated topics in an understandable way. And if you don't get it the first time, he'll explain again! He's forensic in his questioning, but this shows he's listening, really listening to what you have to tell him. There was never any need to repeat things as he immediately 'got it', and gave me very helpful tips from the start. Following his advice, I've now taken out an annuity, to replace an existing income that I'm about to lose. In addition, other income is to be generated by investing money in areas I simply would not have thought of. He has an easy-going, friendly manner which I think is important. And dare I say it, my two or three meetings with him have been fun as well as useful - a difficult combination to pull off. Others at 'Team Fairey' that I've had dealings with have been just as helpful. I have already recommended Ed to friends.

Thank you for finalising the bond. I have received my WRAP login but haven’t activated it yet. I’d like to say a special thanks to Nicola Drohan for her patience and support throughout this process.
CM, Wirral, May 2014
We approached Mr Fairey to discuss our pension annuity and the advice we were given was first class. He was very knowledgeable and very patient as we had no idea what to do. We had two meetings with him and his staff who were very helpful and friendly and even phoned after working hours to speed things up. Would definitely recommend!
GP, Colchester, February 2014
I cannot thank Michaela enough for what she has done for me, it will make a huge difference. Once again thank you very much what you did.
KW, Cambridge, Jan 2014
I was very happy when Keith (Cornelius) arranged this policy. He gave me a choice of plans and explained the pros and cons of each one. I felt very confident with Keith's advice and he kept in contact throughout the process. He also helped me with a pension plan too.
RU, Colchester, Dec 2013
I was one of Fairey Associates first clients having been introduced to Ed some seven years ago by a walking friend.
Having my finances in all different areas Ed clearly explained what he felt to be most beneficial for someone in my personal circumstances. In spite of their being one area on which we did not agree, at no time did Ed pressurise me. He understood my risk level and by having an annual investment review this gives an opportunity to see if one’s circumstances have changed or not.
His returns have given me over 50% on my capital and foreseeing the credit crunch made sure that my portfolio benefitted by getting me out before the drop and hence having the funds to invest when prices fell. I am a small investor and yet I feel I am treated with as much respect as those who have a larger portfolio.
He has great integrity and I trust his suggestions as he certainly has made my money grow for me. When times are hard he is always supportive in whatever action I feel I need to make and knows what to do for my benefit. It has been a pleasure dealing with Fairey Associates – Ed and his team – and I am delighted that the company is going from strength to strength.
I have every faith in Ed’s judgment and would highly recommend him as a Financial Advisor.
Hilda S, London, Feb 2013
The service I received from Fairey Associates was excellent. My knowledge of finance and investments is limited - Ed and his team carefully talked me through the various options. Follow up guidance and communication was first class.
