What our clients say
“Paul Barker’s knowledge of NHS pensions is encyclopaedic and his advice to those who put their financial affairs in his hands is utterly reliable. A dose of Paul is just what senior clinicians and managers, often with complex employment histories, need when it is time to focus on a financially secure future and transition to retirement. Paul ‘gets’ NHS professionals, applying a commendable bedside manner with super sharp (and ethical) investment planning advice. Paul’s service is personal, psychologically sensitive and a rare find.”

“Honestly if you need a pro who knows the NHS pension scheme inside and out ( as well as other Finance things) then I can not rate Paul highly enough. Insightful, clear, composed, credible, knowledgeable, patient and relevant is how I would view him.
