“I have been using Gilliker Flynn for about four years now, first of all to invest a windfall, and then, much more importantly, to help me to sort out my financial arrangements following an unexpected and unplanned early retirement. I can only say that my experience has been outstanding. Chris has in each case listened to my (somewhat idiosyncratic) demands and provided advice which gave me exactly what I wanted. His investment recommendations have been spot on and all the investments have significantly outperformed my expectations and really do provide me with full security in my retirement. I have also been extremely happy with the friendly, rapid and clear support provided by the whole Gilliker Flynn team, it seems to be a happy and efficient place. The services aren't cheap, but are completely dwarfed by the benefits that come from the high quality advice. Very happy strongly to recommend them - much the best financial advice I've ever had.”
