As part of my BNI networking group we are asked to give a positive contribution each week.  This can include a referral, a testimonial, bringing a visitor, or feedback on a one2one you had with a member during the week.

The idea is not just to bring business to other members, but to create a positive environment everyone feels part of.  On that note, I have decided to to share a testimonial for one of our members on our blog.

This year we were lucky enough to have our pensions managed by Richard Cotter from Growth Investments.  What I liked about Richard was his approachability on the subject.  Pensions had been explained to us and talked over in our office many times, but Richard made the matter simple, easy to understand and even a little interesting.

Richard explained the pros and cons of the different fund options, our choices and where he thought we should invest our money.  A year on we have to put some money aside for our future and feel safe in the knowledge that we made the right decision in getting Growth Investments to manage our money.  We also have income protection which will pay our wages in the event an accident or illness prevents us from working. Being self employed with a young family this gives me great peace of mind.

I would recommend anyone considering a pension, retirement or looking for income protection to talk to Richard as no doubt it will be of benefit.
