I was referred to trinity by a friend when I was looking at becoming a financial adviser myself…read more When an adviser called me and said he would come round and discuss the options I though'oh yeah and try to make as many sales as you can'. I was delightfully surprised with the meeting. The adviser was very helpful with my questions and as I thought did ask about my personal circumstances. He explained where he thought we had a shortfull and what we could do to fix it. He said that he was paid by the company provider but as he was governed by the FSA he couldn't sell us the product that made him the most if that wasn't the best product for us. We have been with the same adviser for nearly 4 years now and have never been pressured into taking a product or go with a particular company. There have been a couple of times when we have decided that we haven't been able to afford the suggested 'route' and the adviser has looked at other options with us or left it until we could afford. The branch itself is outdated and needs a facelift - but this does not affect the way the advisers work and shows that they are good with money - why spend it on decorating when it's not a necessity.

It has good customer services though. Nice, friendly, and helpful staff. It is not difficult to see one of their customer advisers. I did not need to wait for ages as well to see one of their customer advisers. The financial products are sometimes good, especially its mortgages. Its current account and its saving account are alright. They are not the worst in the market. But, they are not the best in the market either.

Endsleigh car insurance got my business a couple of years ago. They are pretty good car insurance…read morecompany. To contact their insurance claim contact centre has never been more than 5 minutes. The customer service was helpful and nice. They always try to help you out in claim dispute, what to say, what not to say. I got good car insurance quote a couple of years ago with them. I moved from them to my new car insurance provider because their already good renewal quote was beaten by 10% by the my current car insurance provider. So, it was not because their quote was not good, but because I have got another car insurance provider who was willing to beat my renewal quote by 10%.
