Helpful and quick response

The wait on the James Hay customer service line is always short. On today's call Lucie Walker was very helpful and was quick to answer all my questions. Thank you.

Special thanks

I would like to thank Megan, Lisa & Alex Copp for being so attentive whilst trying to help me with the processing of our clients'income recently. As 'front of house' staff, they have been thorough and considerate which isn't always backed up by the processing that actually happens in the background. Thank you very much to them all

I called and didn't have to wait long to be connected which was great. Then Alex Copp provided me with excellent support in dealing with my pension query. An excellent customer service advisor with a caring attitude.

Good experience so far

I have not yet completed the transaction which is taking tax free pension cash. So far the response has been excellent. One quibble is that I had sent a secure message on their system but the relevant team had not shared this with the person I have been dealing with.
