Testimonials
James Annely
“We contacted Andrew Lee at One Financial Solutions after a recommendation from a trusted friend. Andrew met us at a time convenient to us where we discussed our mortgage and life cover requirements. As a young family we appreciated the clear, thorough and independent advice we received. Our mortgage went through in a timely manner and when our fixed rate expired, Andrew was the first person we contacted to ensure we continued to have the best mortgage available to us.”
“Wayne worked with us at A-Plant helping us to develop and market our stakeholder pension proposition to our employees. He was always keen to explore new ways of making our pension arrangements more attractive and more intelligible to our employees and together we made significant progress in introducing autoenrolment (long before legislation on the subject), salary sacrifice, retirement planning and scheme governance. Of particular note was Wayne’s ability to ‘connect’ with employees at all levels of the organisation and his success in making pensions and retirement planning relevant to employees who were often sceptical or suspicious about saving for retirement. Wayne put a lot of effort into supporting us as an HR team and ordinary scheme members and I look forward to working with him again in future.”
“Wayne and I worked together over a number of years, developing and improving A-Plant’s stakeholder pension proposition. Wayne is extremely customer focused and supported the business to ensure our employees were well advised in respect of their pension benefits. His jargon-free and accessible approach enabled him to win the confidence of our employees and allowed us to significantly increase our pension scheme participation rates. Wayne was an integral part of helping us design and implement innovative and cost sensitive programmes. Despite the ‘dry’ subject matter, Wayne was always affable and able to adapt his style to suit his audience. I have no doubt that these skills will translate equally well in Wayne’s new endeavours.”
“Wayne has advised and demonstrated an extensive knowledge of a wide variety of products that I have used personally and professionally. He carries out his work in a professional manner and is able to apply his experience of financial services in great detail when working with his clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending Wayne for his work.”
“Wayne is a consummate old-school professional and I’ve never failed to be impressed by his work in my dealings with him over a number of years.”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Christine over the last four years and have always found her to be professional and trustworthy. She is able to balance the ability to complete all her paperwork and compliance but remain friendly and accessible. She explains things plainly, in terms that laymen can understand and keeps people interested even though pensions can be quite a dry subject. This has been particularly necessary working in a bi-lingual school. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as your pensions adviser and in fact sought her out when we knew autoenrolment was on its way for our firm.”
“I would like to take this opportunity to commend One Financial Solutions, and in particular Christine Tucker, for the professional service provided to us during the purchase of our new house.

“I can highly recommend Christine Tucker as a Financial Adviser. I needed to attain a relatively small mortgage and she helped me to find the right one for me at this stage in my life. She is knowledgeable and thorough in her work. She followed the process through and chased up on my behalf when necessary. I would use her again if the need arises.”
“I first met Christine in 2015, it was after my mum had passed away and I had a substantial amount of money to invest. Christine came to my house for a consultation and as soon as I met her, I felt at ease and trusted her completely to help me make the right decision. She advised me to take my time and not to rush into anything I wasn’t 100 percent sure about. We met several times and looked at different options and eventually arrived at the right one. Christine invested mum’s money for me. We have annual reviews and she now oversees our finances as well as our wills,life insurance [protecting you],and pensions. If I have any queries I am not sure about she is always more than happy to advise me. Nothing is too much trouble which is why I am more than happy to recommend her to my friends and family. She is meeting with my son and his partner to discuss their financial situation and help them with a mortgage in the near future. Christine is a very knowledgeable and professional lady I was very fortunate to have been introduced to her as I would not want or trust anybody else to oversee my finances. Thank you, Christine for all your ongoing support.”

I would definitely recommend Christine Tucker‘s financial service advice and expertise.”
“I approached Christine as I was looking for some pension advice and she was recommended to me. At our first meeting, I found her to be friendly and approachable. The one thing I really liked was her ability to explain it all simply as pensions and financial matters can be very confusing. Christine researched my pensions thoroughly before advising me of my options. On her advice, I chose to consolidate several small pensions into one fund that has so far performed well. Sorting out one’s finances is not always the easiest task and it was something I had delayed for many years. However, with Christine’s expertise and support the experience was not as daunting as I had anticipated. I would have no hesitation in recommending Christine to anyone who is seeking professional financial advice.”

“I consulted Christine regarding my three existing pension plans in order to see if I was getting the best performance from the fund managers. Christine carried out a thorough examination of the existing pension schemes and a comparison with the market options and was able to demonstrate quickly and effectively that two of the old plans might be combined within a new higher achieving plan. The benefits of carrying out this advice were considerable and I am grateful to Christine for her help.Christine has a careful considered professional approach and I would highly recommend her and look forward to receiving her ongoing financial consultations.”
“I would highly recommend Christine Tucker for her complete honesty, integrity and professionalism throughout all the dealings I have had with her for both my pensions and my mortgage. She has always acted very kindly in explaining everything throughout every transaction, and talking through all my possible options. She has always been there both personally and on the phone when I have needed further explanation or clarification on certain points.”
“Christine has recently helped us re-assess all our financial products and obtain a mortgage for a house move. The mortgage application and house move were somewhat stressful due to our circumstances, but Christine was always there to support us and move things along. We found her to be highly knowledgeable and professional but more than that, we felt we could trust Christine – which for us is so important when you are making decisions that will affect your whole family and their future.She doesn’t use jargon and explained everything simply and clearly – we would highly recommend Christine and will certainly be using her again in the future.”
“Stacey and I wanted to write you a quick email to say thankyou to Andrew and Kirsty for everything you’ve done for us to get us on the property ladder. Having been recommended to you by friends and family we knew we were in safe hands and from day one all the way to completion you have not disappointed. Being first-time buyers the world of property purchasing seemed a little daunting to us and was looking for someone to not only source us an appropriate mortgage, but also keep us informed every step of the way as well as answering questions as they arise, not only did you meet our needs but also dealt with us on what felt like a very personal level. We both feel like the standard of service we’ve received from yourselves has far exceeded expectations, whether it be to phone and update us as to the progress of the application or simply just to check that we are happy and didn’t have any questions or queries at the time.Once again we both want to say a huge ‘thankyou’ for making what can be a stressful time actually very straightforward and we can’t recommend both of you highly enough.”
“Over the past few years I have worked with Christine to get my financial house in order. Looking at my finances from the perspective of where I am now and what I wanted for the future, we cancelled policies that didn’t really meet my needs and created new ones that better suit my circumstances. I have no doubt that Christine’s advice has saved me money in the long run and created investments that are now performing to my expectations. Her methodical and holistic approach has meant no area of my finances is overlooked. We have prioritised what needs doing and are working through it all. Christine is more than a Financial Advisor to me, she’s also now a friend. I’ve recommended Christine to my friends and family and I look forward to many more years of our successful partnership.”
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank your company and staff for all of your help and assistance with my recent mortgage application. It is very much appreciated with your team doing a fabulous job in helping me through this process and ensuring we got the funds as needed. I will of course recommend you to friends/colleagues where I can and will work with you in two years’ time when we need to renew/revise the current deal.”
“One Financial Solutions, credit where credit is due, the team have been brilliant in assisting our ‘not so standard’ mortgage application. Everyone we have dealt with has been absolutely brilliant in ensuring my wife and I secured the mortgage offer. Every step of the way you [Wayne Griffiths]have advised us impeccably. I only wished I had come to you at the beginning, a lesson learnt for the future. Thanks a million!”
“We contacted Paul Keeley at One Financial Solutions having seen his advertisement in a local magazine. Paul arranged to meet us at home and at our convenience, where we discussed our requirements which consisted of life insurance and mortgage updating and a new critical illness cover. Paul also put us in touch with an advisor to write our wills. In a matter of days, Paul had obtained a full financial picture from us and had sourced all the relevant policies for our requirements. From start to finish, One Financial Solutions were efficient, courteous and thorough and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing sound financial advice.”
“As accountants to numerous clients with investment portfolios and a preference to fund property in contrast to pension, our clients need an IFA working for longer term solutions, reliable and always available, to invest according to client circumstances .Amit’s excellent work for our clients enhances our ability to contribute to a range of client services and we recommend him to others as part of our team for all financial planning.”
“I always trusted my bank to help me with managing finances and giving me the best advice in the past but after being referred to Amit by a colleague, I realized how much better off I was using the help of a professional. Amit invested his time in finding out about my needs before giving me any advice. It was only after he understood my preferences that he would recommend the products most suited to me.I am very happy and thankful with the way things have turned out and it’s really a load off my mind. He has helped me with investments and savings initially, and after seeing the kind of professional he is I have decided to take advice on all my finances including mortgage and protection from him.”
“Andrew was a hero: not only did he find a company who would take me on, but he also got me a fabulous mortgage that I could afford and took so much of the stress out of the situation. Andrew was then able to sort out what I did with the pension money from my ex-husband and I now have it invested. He also ensures that we have a six-monthly review on the performance of the pension investments.”
“Anil helped us with both buying a new main residence and releasing equity from our previous house, changing it to a buy-to-let property. We are first-time landlords and did not know how to do these two tasks at the same time. Anil helped us with both, and did it in a very professional but simplified way, explaining everything in an easy-to-understand manner. We appreciate his timely help and patience and we’ve recommended him to other friends for his services and professionalism. We are in the process of using Anil’s services for our life and critical illness insurances.”

“I felt confused by the range of products on offer, and wanted someone to help me navigate the complexity. Daniel provided high-quality and focused advice in a number of areas which has led to my investing in a far higher performing portfolio of investments. No suggestions as to what he could have done better. Great performance – ‘5 stars’ for advice, service and value.”

“I reached out to Paul and One Financial Solutions upon a recommendation from a trusted friend. The timing was perfect as with a new family and house move, we needed the financial security and a financial strategy for the foreseeable future. I found the conversations with One Financial Solutions not about pushing product but really identifying with my personal requirements. As a consequence, I feel I have the right solutions at the right costs in order to support the coming years for myself and my family. Thank you.”
“I was going through a divorce and wanted my property to go back being in my sole name. Paul was recommended to me and he’s proved to be an absolute superstar: he arranged a new mortgage and was always on hand to reassure me. I’ve since recommended him to my friends.”
“I needed a professional to assist with a complex buy-to-let remortgage that involved a transfer of equity. Paul found an excellent deal, arranged for additional solicitors to take care of the transfer of equity element, and provided continuous assistance and guidance throughout the process. There were some complexities involved, and at times where disconnects occurred between the lender and the two solicitors, Paul would step in, leveraging his expertise to get the job done. Paul created real value for us and I have actively recommended his service to friends and colleagues.”
“I was buying a second property [and found] Paul’s knowledge and expertise within this sector [to be] exceptional. He considered my circumstances and sourced providers based on my requirements whilst providing a comprehensive account of every aspect of my borrowing process. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.”
“We were first-time buyers and, as one of us was self-employed, we required information specific to our circumstances. Paul helped us obtain our first mortgage – he really went out of his way to find us a lender that was right for us. We were very happy with Paul’s service and can’t think of anything we’d change!”
“Super work on the mortgage during a challenging market period. Thanks a lot, James – great work!”

James fully understood this, and provided quality, tailored advice in a way I could understand. He is a very approachable person and I would highly recommend him.”
“My husband and I needed financial protection, which Julie orchestrated and arranged. Julie’s help has been priceless; her help and guidance has made the arrangements easy and took the stress away. Julie is due to help us with our pensions next. I would definitely recommend talking to her regarding any financial planning matters.”
“I met Louise following a recommendation by a family member. As a young first-time buyer, I was naturally quite anxious about the process. Louise was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to explain the procedure and answer my questions. It was a pleasure to have Louise by my side throughout the journey, and I will undoubtedly contact her for any future services!”
“Louise has provided us with detailed advice and recommendations about our mortgage applications and insurance policies over the past five years. She has always presented the best options and responded quickly to any queries. She is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and flexible on meeting times so as to suit our busy working schedule. We wouldn’t consider using anybody else and highly recommend her.”
“We have known Michael for several years, and have always found him to be very helpful and thorough. We needed to arrange a new mortgage and financial protection alongside it. Michael worked extremely hard to get us the right deal, and explained everything in detail so that we were comfortable. Michael is a pleasure to deal with and we would definitely recommend him.”
“We needed to purchase our first house and, following a recommendation, asked Michael to help us. Our needs were not straightforward but, right from the beginning, Michael put our minds at rest. He helped us through the whole process and also arranged life cover and critical illness insurance. We have been very happy with his advice and service, and would not hesitate to recommend him.”
“Reece has had a significant and measurable impact on my personal and business finances both from a tax and growth perspective. His advice has always been ‘top tier’ and I would not trust anyone else with my finances. I have and will continue to recommend him to my network.”
“Reece was recommended to me by a friend who had used his services recently. He identified multiple gaps in my existing planning and provided more cost-effective options for both me and my business. The methods he uses to illustrate his advice are easy to understand which is key when making financial decisions. I’ve recommended him to my business partner and we are now building our portfolios with his advice.”
“I had various pension pots from my corporate days. After a short meeting, Julie contacted [the pension funds], researched them and gave me a pleasant surprise – they were actually worth more than I thought! I had never made time to look into it. Julie saved me hours of time sorting this out and my pension planning is now so much clearer. Thank you!”
