I had a small pension from a previous job with Royal London and a holiday coming up! Patrick L made the process of releasing my funds as simple as he could considering the reams of advice he is obliged to tell you. Grasped my situation immediately, dealt with it efficiently and not without charm, an asset to your organisation.

Another easy withdrawal of my money.

Mainly speaking with Alison and the original chap I was put through to. Both of them did a great job in getting me to where I wanted to be, so thank you to them both.
