Testimonials

  • Glyn Jones, Vale Financial Services
    First impressions of pi financial ltd were positive. John Beale (Business Development Manager) introduced the concept to us,and after speaking to existing associates of theirs, and meeting Tim Sutcliffe (Chief Executive), this view was reinforced.

    Unlike other networks, pi is an IFA itself with it’s own clients, and is therefore in tune with the way we work. Latest impressions, still positive!


  • Glyn Roberts, G&R Financial
    For busy IFAs and their clients overseas call centres seem to be at a divergence with good quality client services.

    In today’s world does your network or group follow the same pattern – i.e.:  high on technology, low on service.

    Mine doesn’t – having joined pi financial ltd nearly three years ago I can still say hand on heart that the quality of back-up, professional administration, commission and fee statements you can understand (!) and the unfettered access to any person in the organisation, be it a new admin staff member or the Managing Director, is still the same. 

    Long may it continue!


  • Alan Orr, Braehead Mortgages
    In the short period we have been with PI Financial they have offered me the one thing that is paramount to any business, SERVICE.

  • Stuart Clark, SBC Mortgages, Edinburgh
    pi are friendly, efficent and always willing to help, the commission rates are also good!

  • Brian Harkins, Brian Harkins Financial Services
    If I was to describe pi financial, I would say" pi financial is a Network, that works for it's members".

  • Gary McCleary, Gary McCleary Financial Services
    The service levels from the staff have been exceptional, both before joining and after. Big difference from multi-national previous network, more personalised.
