How we’ve helped Lauren

My name is Lauren. I’ve known Larry for a long time, as my dad and Larry have been friends for years, so I’ve been a client of Lawrence Clarke since my 20s, and my contact is Larry.

I got in touch with Lawrence Clarke as I was approaching my 30s and realised that pensions would become something I needed to prioritise in my financial life. I hadn’t appreciated that in my 20s, and that was one of the reasons that I felt it was advantageous for me to contact somebody like Larry.

I chose Lawrence Clarke mainly because I trust Larry’s and that of his team. I always found it very robust, particularly because I had family members who had their pensions managed by Larry and his team. It enabled our family to ensure that our financial plans were always robust. I continue to have that experience. Everything they recommend is something that I can trust completely,

The most recent thing that Lawrence Clarke has helped me with is not only reviewing my pensions, but I also had to transfer a workplace pension having changed jobs in the last year and making sure that that goes into my personal pension fund with Royal London. I’ve also been advised on other products, like life insurance, income protection, and critical illness, which, as I get older, is important. So, I’ve really appreciated all the advice on how I can financially plan for those things in my monthly budget as well.

Working with Lawrence Clarke makes me feel reassured. I am of a generation, being a millennial, where perhaps a State Pension won’t be available to me and retirement is a very long way off. Our working age will probably be into our 70s. We will still go to work and have a workplace pension. So, understanding what that looks like in the future can feel really uncertain, but my yearly check-ins and my statements that come through from Lawrence Clarke really help me to understand how close I am to those goals of being able to retire. And it’s nice to feel reassured that I’m not only providing for myself in the future and for our family but also being able to manage right now. That feeling of safety and security is really important, which Lawrence Clarke gives to me.

I feel happy about my financial future working with Lawrence Clarke. It’s nice to have the ability to ask any questions. I’m not somebody who understands pensions in-depth, and being able to pick up the phone or email someone as my life changes reassures me and makes me feel happy that my financial life is in a good state and that I can look forward to the future.

The three words I would use to describe Lawrence Clarke are reliable, trustworthy, and secure.

If I had to pick one thing about why working with Lawrence Clarke is so beneficial, it would probably be their reliability. They’re always there to answer questions; they provide an amazing depth of knowledge in our consultations and can always be relied upon to give you a solid and trustworthy answer, one that you can feel confident with.

I would absolutely recommend Lawrence Clarke to other people. They are extremely trustworthy and very reliable, and the team is wonderful. They are always there no matter what I ask; they reply to emails and always answer my calls and we’re incredibly lucky to have them. My entire family uses Larry, and we really appreciate it because my pension, my father’s pension, and my partner’s pension are in a better state because we work with Larry. So, yes, a huge thank you to all of the team. They’re wonderful, and I would recommend them to anybody.
