‘I put my financial life in Connor Broadley’s hands, and they carefully constructed a plan around who I am and
what matters most to me — my family. It is executed with rigour and bears fruit consistently. I feel utterly safe in their care.
I have lost count of the friends and business contacts I have referred to Connor Broadley. Recently my eldest son went to see them to make investment plans of his own. It gave me great pleasure to know Fred, too, is now in such good, safe hands.’
