John Ditchfield's LinkedIn profile
“John worked with me to transfer a rag bag of different pensions into a SIPP and also to establish an investment portfolio. I found him knowledgeable and helpful and also low key in his approach - no hard selling of inappropriate products, quite unlike the major bank I had previously used as investment advisers.”
