John Delany and Will Sparks manage both my pension and that of my staff. They were incredibly hands on through the process and made it all very seamless. Their portal made uploading documents very easy and John was always available for any questions. Would be very happy to recommend them.

I dealt with John in the sparkwealth team and I am extremely thankful to how responsive and proactive he was at every stage of the process along with his team. At no stage did I feel pressured to invest anything I wasn’t comfortable with and was given excellent advice and options about what fits my financial situation. This was all coupled with a really professional and well run process the company has for its clients. Highly recommend!!
