Testimonials

I have been a client of Ben Hackett and Sam Wales for just over two years after having transferred all my family’s accounts from a competitor firm that could no longer meet my ETO trading needs. My first practical experience of the high level of professionalism and expertise of Ben and Sam was the seamless transition from my old firm that was managed by them. Whilst you may think that’s to be expected to win over a new client, I can attest that since then, nothing has changed with that level of service. I find Ben and Sam are good listeners, resourceful and knowledgeable. Most importantly in the current volatile environment, they are responsive to my needs.
