I have had a fantastic experience with my financial advisor - Nancy
I have had a fantastic experience working with Nancy. She really goes above and beyond to ensure that I fully understand every detail before I make any important financial decisions. Her ability to explain things clearly and thoroughly has helped me learn so much about saving and managing my money more effectively.
Thanks to Nancy, I feel much more confident about my financial future. She is patient, attentive and genuinely cares about helping me reach my goals. I truly value her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable financial advisor.

Trust fund
Cannot fault at all. Daughter received an email the day before her 18th birthday. She reinvested some money and requested to withdraw the rest. She had to upload photo ID and bank details. This was in her account within 6 days (3 working days as there was a weekend and bank holiday within that). No hassle at all, would definitely recommend
Amazing
Easy to contact, clear and thorough options discussed, and Lisa specifically was a joy to talk to and made the process super understandable.

I have found dealing with Foresters Financials (UK) over the years a pleasant experience. We were recently visited by Cheryl Phillips who explained clearly the future options for when the CTFs mature. I would recommend.
Brilliant experience
Spoke to Lee Connor, he was very informative, easy to talk to a brilliant.
if you're looking for easy to manage accounts then these are not it
Not for those who are looking for an easy-to-manage account.
opened a child trust account and now that she would like to withdraw some funds, it's almost bloody impossible to do so. When she calls them, she is told to go online, but there are no instructions on how to proceed, nor are there any options. The online interface is ridiculous and not user-friendly at all.

Great child trust fund for our kids
Great child trust fund we have had for many years (when formerly Children's Mutual). Easy to save for children and online portal enables you to set up DDs quickly and easily and check amounts of funds etc.

Tim was extremely helpful discussing financial options available to purchase. His calm and professional manner , coupled with excellent interpersonal skills enabled me to make a decision without feeling pressurised in any way. Tim answered all my questions competently , the application process was made to feel very straightforward . I would definitely recommend Foresters to friends and family.
Professional and Friendly advise
I set up an appointment with the lovely financial advisor Zainab Jamal. I went in having no idea of how I wanted to move forward with my finances/ Foresters plans. Zainab explained all of my options so so well, nothing felt rushed, she was very professional yet friendly which made me feel comfortable and able to ask questions. I left the meeting feeling confident and well informed to make my own decision. Thank you very much Zainab ! I would recommend to others for sure.
