Posted on Chantelle KirkhamOctober 6, 2023 I have worked with Mark and his colleagues on a number of occasions, both professionally and personally, and have received excellent advice on each occasion. Mark is professional yet approachable and makes financial planning simple and straightforward. I will not hesitate to work with Mark and Ardent Financial Planning in the future.Posted on Richard StaplesOctober 6, 2023 I contacted Mark in regards to discussing my existing pension arrangements. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and I was very satisfied with the service I received. I would happily recommend him and the team at ArdentPosted on DianeOctober 5, 2023 Absolutely first class service beginning to end would definitely recommend themPosted on Graham GillyonSeptember 29, 2023 Gary O'Brian of Ardent was recommended to me over 12 years ago to help structure my pensions enabling me to understand and plan my investments and future retirement plans. Gary has provided an excellent and professional service and his and the teams clear communications equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to retire at the right time. The excellent support of Gary and his team at the office is on-going - I enjoy my retirement knowing that there is someone there if I need help or advise.Posted on eric bridgesDecember 5, 2022 Great focus from the team. Always prepared for annual reviews and responsive to requests.Posted on Julia WaiteDecember 1, 2022 As someone who needed to take charge of my finances and pension fund after divorce, the team at Ardent gave me excellent, clear and unbiased advice. 2 years on I am reassured they coninue to advise me with the same professional standards.Posted on Chelsey PickardMarch 4, 2022 Fantastic service from Ardent, keeping us updated and informed at all times. Highly recommend.Posted on David ChambersDecember 8, 2021 Excellent Service . A good team of professionals with help & advice.Posted on Steve TSeptember 10, 2021 Whilst I'm knowledgeable about shares/investments/life planning etc, my wife has used Ardent for many years. I can honestly say that Michael, and more latterly Mark Fisher are EXCELLENT, and ensure that your interests come first, unlike some such companies who, in my opinion are likely to put their commissions as their biggest priority. I have no reservation in highly recommending Ardent through our involvement with Mark. I'd suggest that investors stay clear of the larger, less personal services such as St James's Place and give Ardent a call.
