Client Testimonials

As an independent engineering contractor with a limited company, I had little experience in pension planning. I found Barry’s approach easy to understand and he answered all my questions thoroughly. He was able to set me up with an excellent pension plan which I have found to be very tax efficient and he has updated me regularly on my options as the years have gone by.

I would highly recommend Barry and Bellwether especially if you are a contractor.
