Justin Rourke

I was looking for a financial advisor to help consolidate my pensions. I am very glad I was led to Armstrong Watson. The information and services that I received are far more than I ever expected. Not only have my various pensions been combined, but I now have a greater understanding of how everything works. For the first time I'm fully confident that my finances are in the best hands and will be for the future with the ongoing service that I will receive. By and far the best choice I could have made.

I first encountered Justin when he provided training for my work colleagues about the introduction of Auto Enrolment and I was impressed by the quality of the information provided and Justin's clear and knowledgeable response to concerns and questions raised. When I was looking for someone to provide me with pension advice leading up to my retirement, Justin immediately came to mind. The advice and support which Justin has provided has been excellent - just the right level of detail to allow me to make informed and realistic decisions about my pension and future finances. Justin has certainly lived up to my expectations - brilliant!

Armstrong Watson have been my business accountants for 20 years, so when I needed retirement advice on my deferred pensions I had built up many years ago, Armstrong Watson Financial Planning Ltd were my first choice.

At the first meeting, Justin covered a wide range of topics. He came over as professional,calm, not pushy and explained technical issues in layman terms. This initial meeting with Justin gave me the confidence to continue working with him and not seek another independent financial advisor. I have built up a good working relationship with both Justin and the investment manager which Justin recommended and I know that if I ever have any questions or requests I can contact them for assistance.

This all works so well that my partner is now looking at moving their investment portfolio to Armstrong Watson Financial Planning Ltd too.

We've grown our veterinary business steadily over the last 17 years and in the last few years, with Justin's help, we have negotiated many obstacles that life and business can throw at you. He has helped us set up our pensions, rearrange our borrowing and with our long term tax planning.

I really feel that our company's financial health is in good hands and that we are now properly proactive rather than reactive. We know that we have a safe pair of hands and That Justin is at the end of the phone should we have any financial issues.

We let the experts help us. We’ve got up to date wills, up to date pension systems, all the financial planning goes into that. How to reduce taxation, planning for retirement, planning for everything.

We plan everything. We have two year, three year, five year, 10 year plans. We do the whole lot. Armstrong Watson control the financial side of it, that’s what we let them do. We concentrate on what we do. We use the experts, we employ contractors and any experts to do the work. I know how to grow chickens, I’m a chicken farmer, I’m not a financial consultant. They do it for me. All of it.

After my wife and I retired it made good sense to seek professional advice concerning our finances. Justin was the perfect choice! he is a very efficient and knowledgable person who listened to us and took our requirements on board. We couldn't have wished for a better advisor.

We have grown our veterinary business steadily over the past 17 years and in the last few, with the help of Justin, we have negotiated many of the major obstacles business and life can throw at you. He has helped us with our financial planning such as the setting up of our self invested pension plan, rearranging our borrowing and long term tax planning. He has also introduced us to some key people when other issues have come up. I really feel that our companies financial health is in good hands and that we are now properly pro-active rather than reactive. We know that we have a safe pair of hands and the end of the phone should we have any financial issues.

Having explored the possibility of early retirement I approached Armstrong and Watson for professional advice and was introduced to Justin Rourke and his team. The detailed and independent advice I subsequently received was invaluable in providing me with the background information and understanding I required to make a measured and informed choice on the best options to secure my future pension arrangements. Throughout the whole process Justin’s availability, professionalism, experience and guidance provided me with reassuring support. I am confident that my funds are now being managed in a way that will meet my future requirements.

I look forward to working in partnership with Justin and his team for many years to come and based on my own experiences I would have no hesitation in recommending Armstrong and Watson to anyone seeking advice on their financial matters.
