I have entrusted John fully with my my pension planning, how to invest etc and all I can say is - I wish I had done it sooner. He has taken all the guesswork out of it. I trust him fully and don’t waste time wondering which funds I should be in etc. On top of that he’s a pleasure to deal with it and I am very happy I found John and Blueprint Financial Planning.

A number of years ago,as we approached retirement, we sought some financial advice from John (Plueprint Financial Services).We were very impressed with the personal attention given to us and to our financial future. John clearly outlined all our financial options and advised us accordingly, taking into account how we might like to invest our money. John invested , on our behalf, and to be honest, they have made some nice returns for us. We have every confidence in his financial expertise and are very comfortable with his financial approach to the management of our finances.

I consider John as being an important person in my corner when it comes to advice and expertise around all things financial planning. Working with John feels different - he genuinely cares about the people he works with and takes time to get to know you and your unique scenario and needs. John's attention to detail and knowledge of financial planning means you feel heard and safe which are two important considerations for anyone who is making decisions for their future. Apart from being an expert at what he does, John is an incredibly kind person and is always generous with his time and advice. I can highly recommend John if you are wanting to make impactful decisions around your finances and are looking for a personal, positive experience.

John has been incredible with his guidance on pension plans, health insurance/ life assurance, investments, college funds etc. For me, I didn’t know where to start when it came to financial health and setting myself up for the future! John has been professional, approachable and a great resource when it comes to financial planning and it’s giving me great piece of mind knowing he’s just an email or call away if I have any concerns/ questions!

I have always found John so personable. He has a great way of explaining even the most complex products in an easy to understand way. Matching the product to my needs as opposed to the other way around. He has always responded to any of my queries very promptly. Am very happy with my experiences at Blueprint Financial Planning
