If you’re thinking about retirement or your later years, you have multiple options, including pensions and ISAs. While ISAs are more accessible, read on to find out
Tony understands our attitude to risk and the purpose of our investments. He has always endeavoured to provide products suited to these needs. He is always available to answer any worries or queries between his annual visits. We have always found his visits friendly and helpful and put our trust in his recommendations.

Provides a professional service, willing to take the time to understand my aims and ambitions for my financial affairs. Only been with Tony a short while and the end results will be the deciding factor, but so far, I am confident that my goals will be achieved within the plan established by Tony.

I have known Tony for a number of years, both in his current role and his previous role with NatWest. He has the ability to explain difficult concepts in terms that I can understand, without being patronising in any way. He is also very happy to recap on areas where my grasp had started to slip. In my view, he gets the balance between ‘listening’ and ‘talking’ just about spot on. I have encountered advisers in the past who seemed to like the sound of their own voice too much for my liking. I am also very impressed by his attention to detail.

Tony has always taken the time to both understand what my requirements are and to explain the pros and cons of the options available in a very clear and concise way. He is always available to contact by either email or phone and is very happy to call in to explain any grey areas. After each meeting he will summarise what has been discussed and will follow this up with a written copy which I have always found very useful.

Excellent professional advice and excellent customer service. A considerable amount of work done on our behalf, pushing through the red tape of the pension companies to get what was best for us, not what was easiest or the best for the adviser. We were kept up to date with the process all along and always did what was agreed.
David
A client since 2007
We have known Tony Dungworth for eight years. He has always taken great care in giving financial advice in a timely and easily understood manner. He has at all times sought to clearly recognise our position and our needs. He has never pressed us to make a decision before we have been ready to do so. His summary letters have always been well crafted.
Richard
A client since 2009
The financial services sector has a reputation for fast cars and Italian suits. Tony is a complete and refreshing contrast... relaxed, easy going and not inclined to pressurise you into a decision. He has a good technical knowledge of the tax and pensions regulatory framework and is abreast of current issues.

Since receiving an inheritance, which made our finances more complicated, we have received excellent advice from D&A Investments Partnership in managing our wealth.

We have complete trust in D&A, who have always been approachable and respectful.

My husband and I have known Tony for approximately 10 years and throughout that time have valued and appreciated his help and advice. He has become a friend as much as an adviser and is very prompt to reply to any emails or phone calls we make to him. Many thanks and long may he continue in his work.

I was particularly grateful for Peter Armitage's kindness and patience. I am recently widowed and hadn't a clue what to do. But he led me through procedures slowly and clearly and the whole time I felt that I could trust him. I felt he was a very principled hardworking man who would always do his best for you.
