Testimonials

I approached DGS for advice on my Pension. Steve was very knowledgeable and took time to explain suitable recommendations and investments, which I have been extremely happy with. I have found Steve and the team at DGS very professional. They keep me up to date on a regular basis with how my pension is performing and other useful industry information. I feel I can trust Steve/DGS to do the best for me and have subsequently recommended a number of friends who are also now DGS clients.

Mr W, Enfield

I have arranged a number of buy to let mortgages with DGS IFA Ltd over the last 3 years and been very satisfied with the quality of advice offered and with the level of service provided. I have also recommended them to friends and family.

Melvyn, Landlord, Hertfordshire

Andy Wray has been my Financial Adviser for many years and has been completely reliable in every way. He has asked useful, wide-ranging and perceptive questions to establish what sort of investments would suit best and he has explained the options very clearly. His advice has been completely tailored to my needs and has produced excellent long-term results in spite of recessions, Covid and other obstacles to growth. His guidance has also given me considerable peace of mind, which is invaluable. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who needs expert financial advice.

Mrs H, Hertfordshire

I would like to provide feedback on the excellent professional service that Sara Titmus has provided. Sara has been my financial advisor for many years now and recently assisted with setting up a new mortgage, life insurance and critical cover to support the selling and buying of a new property. Sara at all times displays a very professional reliable service, consistently responds immediately to communication and provides clear sound advise. Sara is a credit to the profession who displays excellent work ethics.
