"My wife and I worked with Grosvenor Birch to understand and plan our future financial goals. Elaine and Lewis were incredibly helpful in challenging us to clarify our goals and then offered comprehensive advice to help us achieve them. We look forward to working with them in the future."

James Y

"I approached Grosvenor Birch to advise me on pension planning in light of tapered annual allowances and breaching the Lifetime Allowance limit. Lewis was able to explain the implications and recommend a way forward to ensure future transition to retirement can utilise different saving and investment accounts characteristics to their best advantage.

The tailored financial report Grosvenor Birch produced set my mind at rest, and included a cash-flow forecast to help me visualise the path to a comfortable future for our family."

Tim E

"The advice I have received has not only been in the form of potential investment opportunities and paths but has also made me think about the bigger picture. I am now happy that mine and my family’s future is in safe hands and returns to date have exceeded expectations in very uncertain times."

Jason M

"Elaine, and now Sara and Lewis, have advised and guided us through different stages of our life -inheritance, pension planning and now retirement. We have always found Grosvenor Birch to be efficient and very professional, but also very approachable and supportive at times of concern. We cannot recommend them highly enough; it speaks for itself that we have been clients for many years."

Marilyn C

“I have used Elaine & Grosvenor Birch for over 15 years for our SSAS pension scheme, employee pension scheme and my personal investments.

I have always found them to be totally professional and they give me all the relevant information that I need. I receive regular updates on how my investments are performing and they keep us informed of all new pension legislation."

Kevin S
