Established in 2002, A1 Financial Solutions has gained a reputation for delivering practical, independent financial advice in plain English, and has a following of fiercely loyal clients.

"A friend put me in touch with Fergus and he organised a whole new mortgage for me that allowed me some breathing space. I've since been back for further advice and they're always very reassuring and helpful."

Sonia Frost, community care worker

"You were wonderfully helpful from the outset and I am very grateful for your time and reassuring, friendly approach. I write this with bits of paint on my hands from some preliminary painting in my new flat."

Clare Davidson, Nurse

"I've been a customer of A1 since being referred to them in 2006 and have since recommended them to all my friends. They make everything so straight forward and have helped me achieve my ambition of investing in property for the long term."

Victoria Masterson, business writer
