I worked with Brian Forde on advise and managing my upcoming pension. I had no knowledge my options, what I could do with my non-contributory company pension. Brian arranged Team meetings to explain the options with back up figures and explained so clearly what I could do to personalise the pension to suit my needs. I felt confident to proceed with a solution worked out with me by Brian.

Great experience with Rockwell setting up and subsequently adjusting my pension. Pete was a pleasure to deal with and I found his knowledge and insight very useful.

Sharon Towson

Conor recently gave me advice on my pension. He gave the best advice I have received from any financial advisor I have been involved with. He explained things in layman's terms so it was easy to understand. I really appreciated this and am delighted to give this feedback.
