"Barry Stanley has acted as my financial adviser for over 3 years. During this time he has given me simple, uncomplicated advice , which has been totally relevant to improving my financial situation. Whether it be Inheritance Tax, Investments

or Pensions he has come through with timely advice and taken away the burden and mystique of financial planning for oneself.

I have great confidence in Barry's quietly stated expertise and have introduced him to my family and friends without reservation. He never assumes that these introductions will be forthcoming and his advice is always given without pressure of an immediate return for himself."  
Barry Wood - Henley-on-Thames

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Barry for some eight years, firstly as director of a financial services company and latterly as the principal of Paragon Independent Financial Solutions.

Barry's financial advice is always clearly and carefully given, without any sales pressure, following sensible discussion allied to well-researched options from his access to many financial product providers.

A typical phone call from Barry could be - John, due to recent developments in products available and/or Budget, I think we should talk.

In other words, he cares about his clients in an on-going manner."
