I would like to put in on record that right from the outset of exploring whether it was possible for myself to retire, Jamie has clearly explained each step of the way. What would be the most appropriate route to follow and exactly how the process works.

This gave me tremendous confidence that Jamie was a person with the best knowledge in a subject I knew very little about. The clear and concise answers to my questions constantly reassures me and allows me to rest assured everything is being looked after for me in the best possible way.

This allows me to get on with my life. Thank you for your help, recommendations and fantastic advice.

It has been a very positive experience changing to Bailey Cook and in particular talking through financial matters with Jamie. Great care has been taken to make sure my wishes are respected and I always feel I can ask about any aspect of the investments and you take much trouble to explain in plain language.

I feel confident with the advice given and have found the service to be efficient and courteous at all times.

Jamie has been really great at helping us to make sense of our investment and retirement plans by capturing all the various elements and converting this into a flexible cashflow that can be pushed and pulled as circumstances change.

He has really taken the time to get to know our family and financial situation as well as our investment preferences enabling us to support sustainable funds. The back up and support including the regular Bailey Cook briefings have been fantastic and provide genuinely interesting insight and commentary away from the standard, dry reporting style often used.

David Parker

As a recent divorcee, completely ignorant of current financial tools and markets, Jamie, over several meetings, listened to my requirements, explained with patience and clarity the options best suiting my profile and set the whole thing up for me. The online platform showing current account status, is easy to use.

Jamie has always been available to answer my questions and to explain market movements. He is charming, understanding and reassuring and it is always a pleasure to speak to him.

Jamie has listened and understood our needs from Day 1, giving us excellent advice on pensions and other financial aspects, in a very straightforward manner. He is knowledgeable and personable, giving us complete confidence that our future is in good hands with Bailey Cook.

Many of us are quite simply ‘out of our depth’ and therefore often anxious about our personal finances. There is just one word that defines the kind of relationship we are seeking from our adviser; Trust.

In Andrew Cook we have found exactly that, and added to the immense experience and expertise he and Bailey Cook bring to their advice and planning, he also brings genuine kindness, understanding, patience and humour. Appointing Bailey Cook as our advisers was the best decision my wife and I ever made as far as our finances are concerned.

Adrian Snell

We have been clients of Andrew Cook’s for twenty years. In that time, he has helped us with mortgages, pensions, ISAs and managed funds. He has guided us to wise investments and in all the ups and downs of the financial markets our money has grown and remains secure.

What really helped was having Andrew come to the house where we were comfortable. He explained everything in great detail, without the jargon, and this enabled us to make an Informed decision.

Having met with several financial advisers I can say with confidence that Bailey Cook are by far the best. Andrew’s knowledge and ability to simplify things made everything seem so straightforward.

Andrew has a very friendly manner. He’s down to earth and someone I felt able to trust straight away. He’s always available to answer my numerous questions and does so in an easy to understand way.

Mike Coombes

My working relationship with Andrew spans almost two decades and in that time, I have always found him to be a most personable, knowledgeable and trustworthy person.

Initially, the connection was through my place of work, however, around 12 years ago my husband and I took the decision to use Andrew’s expertise with regard to our own pension planning. In this time, we truly feel we have benefitted from some extremely useful financial advice, resulting in us having a good quality of life now that we are in retirement.

Andrew has always been available for advice at a variety of levels and over a range of subjects and has always given freely of his time and expertise.

Linsey Marsh

I have been very impressed with Bailey Cook, and in particular Andrew Cook’s handling of my pension transfer.

The most impressive aspect was that he listened. No sales pitch or predetermined assumptions. Their aim was clearly to ensure that the right solution was put forward. The actual transfer process was clearly explained step by step, and I was updated regularly.

I am now looking forward to my dream retirement and thank Andrew and his team for putting the wheels in motion.

Mark Robson

Andrew has been advising us on all financial and tax matters for over ten years. His personal and professional approach has been above and beyond with nothing, however large or small, being too much trouble. His guidance has not only allowed us to retire early but to live comfortably for the future.

When Andrew and Charles took the decision to form Bailey Cook, we had no hesitation in moving our finances with them. With their hands-on, professional approach we have no doubt whatsoever that they will continue to go from strength to strength and we have recommended them to family, friends and anyone who may require a financial adviser.
