  • Pressing Pause September 1, 2021
    This will be our last post on this website and on social media for a while.  Time is our most precious commodity and COVID and the effects of COVID are consuming so much time that we’ve made a conscious decision to focus on what matters; our clients. As many of our clients know, we have […]
  • Pingdemic? July 26, 2021
    Unfortunately the Investment & Retirement Solutions Ltd ‘great unlocking’ has had some unintended consequences as 30% of our independent financial advisers and 50% of our primary administration team have become obliged to self-isolate following NHS COVID 19 app “ping” notifications. As of Monday 26th July, our Head Office at Ransom Hall will not be attended […]
  • COVID Secure Meetings July 15, 2021

  • Happy Fathers Day June 20, 2021
    Every year, special days expose frayed emotions for families for whom the special day will never be the same.

Their grief will be magnified […]

  • Second Opinion Service June 4, 2021

  • Can’t Pay? They’ll Take It Away June 1, 2021
