‘Skating on the thin ice of self-employment, it is not always easy to set savings aside, and investment can be
a stressful and daunting prospect.
Connor Broadley have provided me with financial planning advice and investment management to support my life goals for many years. Not only have they made sure that they share their reasons and approach but, more importantly, they make sure they understand mine. Our journey feels like a joint one, our relationship both educational and enjoyable, and my trust remains undimmed.’
