Brilliant Shona Dobbie

James Hay are lucky enough to employ a truly brilliant lady called Shona Dobbie, whose customer experience skills are outstanding.

Shona listened carefully and pro-actively to the challenging situation I described, and then she took real ownership of all the problems.

Shona's communication skills are first rate...but more than that she is resolute, persistent, honest and kindly. Everything she promised to sort out..she did, and to a very high standard.

Thank you so much Shona - and to James Hay... I hope you realise and appreciate what a gem you have in this lady !

Excellent customer service from Fabian

Spoke with Fabian about a member SIPP transfer. From start to finish, Fabian expertly discussed the details of the case and resolved my query with clarity and professionalism. To avoid being left on hold for too long, Fabian called me back to provide the final answer to my query.

Thank you,
