"I reached out to Bigmores around 4 years ago to sort out my pensions and other financial matters as I was about to retire. I met David Dunn in the office in Walton and he has since been my go to person with anything financial, offering his expert advice and recommending what he thinks are my best options to maximise my returns on my SIPP pension plan. I would recommend anyone requiring financial assistance to have a chat with them."
