2 July 2021: I would like to share the excellent service I received from Simon Hicks at Unividual. He took time to understand my financial position, long term goals and challenges in the near-term juggling a young family with the fiscal demands they come with. He turned what I perceived as a daunting gruelling task of planning my future, into an easy-to-understand plan, with my goals at the centre, giving me peace of mind that I will retire early with more than enough money to live comfortably. with the investments I have made, I can see the growth (both in my pension and ISA) and he is managing my mortgage well. Equally, I have the additional peace of mind with the protections we have put in place for myself and my family in case the worst should happen. Simon is hardworking, diligent, approachable and extremely knowledgeable. Moreover, he is very likeable and trustworthy which sets him apart from the competition. If you’re looking for wealth management advice…he is your man!

15th April 2024: I had just bought a property and wanted to look at my finances so I got in touch with Andy Lei. I was able to tell that Andy was willing to go above and beyond and look at all areas. We started off thinking about investments, but Andy talked to us about the importance of budgeting, risk management and having an emergency fund. Throughout the whole process, I didn’t feel that Andy wanted what was best for him but what was best for us. Andy made me aware that I need to build up my emergency fund pot again after purchasing my home. I always thought that I did not need any protection in place but he painted a much clearer picture of the importance of having insurance in place for my family should the worse happen. My experience with Andy and Unividual was great as he was there supporting me throughout the whole process. I felt comfortable knowing that I could call him anytime

10th May 2023: We engaged with Unividual in 2020, and haven’t looked back. We had had the fortune of seeing our start up bloom faster than anticipated and with its success the questions of how we wisely responded to the financial gains was heavy. We felt out of our depth with how to steward our personal and company finances, it was overwhelming and intimidating. In a world where financial advisers and accountants had left us feeling small, immature and inadequate, Unividual were encouraging, compassionate and diligent. The Unividual team never left us feeling intimidated and took the time to explain in layman’s terms all of our options. I have never felt unable to ask a question or left with anything other than a resolved understanding of our options. Unividual have relentlessly stuck to their brand values and really got to know us, our company and family as a unique profile of demands and risks. They have helped us articulate the needs and demands of both our personal finances and...

15 June 2023: I have been working with Simon Jones for around 18 months. Me and my partner hadn’t used a financial advisor before so we were a little unsure initially but Simon was friendly, clear and transparent throughout the whole process. He undertook a thorough analysis of that I was looking to achieve and my personal circumstances. The whole experience has been positive, I feel much more confident about having put in place a long-term financial plan, and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Simon and Unividual.

27 January 2023: We have been with Unividual for many years after getting a recommendation from a friend. Lewis Baxter is our financial advisor and we could not be happier with the service he gives us. He has helped in all aspects of our finances and is extremely knowledgeable and up to date on the ever changing rules and legal requirements of the financial world. Lewis is always very personable and reliable whenever we request or hold a meeting and answers all questions in ‘layman’s terms’ so we completely understand every aspect. We have recommended Lewis and Unividual to lots of friends who have been equally impressed with the service they have received.

26th January 2023: I can’t recommend Lewis and Alex, and the team from Unividual highly enough. They have helped me with my retirement planning, life and health cover. Nothing is ever too much trouble and Lewis and the team are always on hand to help. They are extremely good at explaining the minefield of financial jargon and making sense of what, I for one, found a confusing and complex area to understand and helping me make what could be considered difficult decisions easy. If you are looking for a financial planner, look no further. I have recommended Lewis and Unividual to a number of friends who have all taken their advice.

8 February 2023: I have not used a financial adviser for a long time and have to say my previous experience has been less than favourable. My wife contacted Simon, a financial adviser in Bristol, to discuss, amongst other things, a final salary pension. I was happy for the two of them to get on with it, but Simon suggested that as we viewed our finances jointly, I should be part of the conversation. I had some cash saved in an ISA that I had held for a number of years. In light of inflation rising to levels unseen for decades, I asked Simon if he had any suggestions what I could do with my cash to reduce the impact of inflation. After spending time understanding my view on risk he asked if I had any specific ethical or social views that might impact on investments. My wife and I are massive animal lovers and were I to make any investment it was important to me that animal welfare was high on the agenda. Simon was able to recommend a socially responsible fund that targets a return in excess...

13 September 2021: My wife and I have been working with Simon Jones for just under two years and are very pleased with the service he has provided. During our time working with Simon he has provided us with the peace of mind of knowing that should anything happen to me or my wife then our family is protected, helped us ensure that we are getting the best mortgage interest rate and started a plan for a financially secure future. I like to think I am pretty clued up when it comes to investments but with a busy job and a young family it’s not always easy to find the time to do the research required. Simon has taken over the management of our personal pensions and the savings for our two sons. This not only frees up my time but given his technical knowledge means that they are in safe hands. Following a recent annual review we have been very pleased with the results, particularly given the global events of the past 18 months. Thank you Simon

He has helped my wife and I sort our pensions, ISAs, investments and mortgages. He was able to demonstrate how we could afford to release equity from a rental property, fund our house move and realise our dream of owning a motorhome for those getaway weekends. Simon is more than an Independent Financial Advisor. He not only looks at the numbers but also looks to understand our aspirations and how to achieve them. I have worked with other IFAs in the past but Simon outshines them all. I would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to review their financial circumstances.

4 July 2021: My husband and I went to Simon Jones for a review of our financial position, and for assistance in planning our financial future. Simon is friendly and very thorough. He investigated all of our pensions, ISAs and other assets, and advised how we can best utilise them all. He assessed our attitudes to risk and proposed a plan to fit our risk profile. He then put the plan into action and made all the transfers in our behalf. With Simon’s expert help, we have been able to realise our dream of owning a motorhome, and buying an amazing house with 180 degree views across the sea. This has long been a dream, and we weren’t sure that it was possible. As part of the process, Simon arranged our residential mortgage and a let-to-buy on a rental property we own, so that we are paying the best rates possible. I would highly recommend Simon! He has enabled us to live the dream!

30th June 2021: We dealt with Simon Jones who was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He helped us sort out our finances and made it possible for my husband to retire within the next year – something we thought wouldn’t be able to happen for probably another 6yrs. He made it all so easy. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him again

29 June 2021: We were looking for advice for our finances as a whole and were recommended Simon Hicks by a friend. He took care of all of our mortgage and protection needs to begin with, then when we were ready we moved onto pensions and investments. His knowledge of everything was incredible. We even started talking about our wider family and their needs including estate planning and inheritance tax. He explained to us in the first meeting that he had the highest qualifications you can get in the industry, after hearing him discuss countless topics in depth, I now understand what this means. Terrific adviser and would highly recommend.

27th June 2021: I found a lot of great reviews on Simon Hicks on VouchedFor. After meeting him I was impressed straight away. I only needed a mortgage, but he seemed to know a great deal about pensions, life cover and investments too. He was able to advise on the most suitable mortgage initially, rather than just picking a standard 5 year fixed off the shelf like a mortgage broker would do. Look forward to moving on to the investing side. Have told friends and family about Simon and would always recommend.

26th June 2021: I was lucky enough to find Simon Hicks a couple years ago when searching for the best ways to grow my investment portfolio. Simon is also very knowledgeable about a wide range of areas I hadn’t even considered. Always professional without being too formal. Would highly recommend Simon’s services for mortgages, protection, pensions and investments. He knows it all inside and out!

25th June 2021: Myself and my partner first met with Simon Hicks early last year, as we were looking to purchase a new home and needed assistance with our mortgage. Simon was extremely professional and transparent and a service that was much improved on finding a mortgage on my own last time around! Since then Simon has helped both myself and my partner in making sure our protection levels are all in place, at all times making sure that we understood every step of the way. I look forward to continuing our EIS* conversations in the near future! EIS means Enterprise Investment Scheme

His manner is always polite and professional, he’s always available to answer any questions I have and responds quickly to any queries. Could not recommend Simon Hicks & Unividual more highly. It’s a very well earned 5 stars from me, I would give more if I could!

My previous financial adviser was retiring and I needed someone of equal quality to take over my affairs, I know Scott Gurd personally and I had no hesitation in asking him to look after me. In the main I was looking at pension advice and investment planning. He reviewed my circumstances, discussed my views on investment, risk etc and we had a general discussion around my existing financial portfolio and my plans for the future. Scott then ensured I looked at all the available options open to me. Have I seen the outcome I was hoping for? Yes and more, I have no complaints. Scott is technically very good and he is genuinely interested in getting his clients the best possible outcome. I am now able to retire 4 years earlier than previously planned. If you are looking for a typical salesperson Scott is not your man, most advisers push harder to get you to follow their advice. Scott however, just gave great financial advice

Simon Jones is both extremely professional and personable. He is a joy to work with and even via online meetings he is easy going and takes time to get to know you in order to fulfil his role as adviser. He manages to provide accountability without being overbearing and is also clear that I am free to take or leave his advice! His advice has always been spot on. In the short time I have been consulting with him, I have found myself in an improved financial position and have greater clarity when it comes to future financial issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone, whether you are planning on buying a house or just need to get your finances in order so you can make some sound investments.

I started looking for a financial adviser after having children and wanting to ensure that we have financial security for our family, now and in the future.

We had house sale proceeds to invest, Simon Jones patiently took me through a range of different options for long term financial planning. Being quite new to investments, and working with a financial adviser, I really appreciated his approach. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to either invest or get general advice, whether you are a new or experienced investor. I have now got a portfolio of ethical investments that is being managed, I have just confirmed initial investments so can’t review in terms of financial performance, but feel very happy with the service provided.

We can not recommend Simon Jones and Unividual highly enough. I’m afraid he had an uphill start as we had bad experiences of old school” advisers. He took pains to allay all our fears. We were fast approaching retirement with little understanding of the benefits and pitfalls of the pensions and products we had in place. After several meetings Simon had a full understanding of our hopes and the products we had. He was able to recommend alternatives that better fulfilled our requirements and overall left us feeling confident about our future which we hadn’t previously. He has also arranged for our wills to be written which had been a “round-to-it” for a very long time. We are in a much better position all round.

We’ve just breathed a large sigh of relief, having secured our first mortgage thanks to the help of Unividual financial advisor Simon Hicks. Both myself and my partner are unconventional financial cases so in turn were expecting a complicated slog, but Simon’s knowledge and diligence pushed things over the line in record speed and with minimal fuss. We would highly recommend Simon to anyone venturing into the intimidating world of first home buying (as he was recommended to us by friends), he was brilliant.

I hadn’t heard from my previous financial adviser, from another company, for a few years. I needed to get my finances sorted out before reaching retirement age. Scott advised me as to my options and showed me comparisons between what I was doing and what I could be doing. He then set me up with what I believe is a much better package with all my finances. I’m very pleased with the return I’m getting from the arranged plans. I know that if I have any issues I can call Scott, or email him at any time and he will get back to me. If I thought Scott could have helped me any better I know I can mention it to him – but I haven’t needed to.

Simon Hicks at Unividual has made what should be a stressful process extremely easy and straightforward. He is very knowledgeable, yet able to explain complex matters in a jargon-free, easy-to-understand way. We could not have asked for a better mortgage advisor; he was very patient with us and made sure that we were always getting the best possible outcome. Always quick to act and respond, even at very short notice. I couldn’t recommend Simon and Unividiual enough. Thank you for everything!

Could I just say how good your staff are in general to deal with. It doesn’t matter who answers the phone it is always handled in a very polite and efficient way, no pre-handling general recorded messages either. Very refreshing. Your people are extremely efficient with handling of tasks giving me prompt feedback where required without me chasing and being diplomatic when I’ve been mucking things up like shredding documents that I should have been sending back to you!!! All in all a great service, many thanks.

I used Simon Hicks to assist me in finding a mortgage as I looked to move from my flat into a house, moving away from having the mortgage on my own to being jointly held with my partner.

Simon Hicks is a consummate professional, Simon helped me understand financial processes that were unknown to me. He fundamentally helped me achieve buying my dream home and offering sound financial advice at every step. The face to face personalised service made me feel comfortable about each decision I was making, and where I was a little unsure, Simon made sure we covered that topic until I fully understood everything before we moved to the next area of financial planning. I couldn’t recommend Simon any higher – very nice chap too!
