What our
clients say

My husband and I were looking for some assistance with investing our pensions but struggling to know what to do for the best. Andy was professional, open, and transparent, and he made the whole process very straightforward. We would highly recommend using his services.

Jeanette and Paul Martin

Andy has worked with us since 2018, and we are exceptionally happy with the service we have received. He is thoroughly professional and has provided us with excellent advice in an easy-to-understand and friendly manner.

Rob and Philippa Bancroft

Andy has provided financial management for my parents for several years. I now hold power of attorney for their affairs, and Andy has given us relevant advice on Inheritance Tax and estate management promptly and with clear, detailed documentation. He is very personable in his manner and approach and has been most helpful.

Barry Wilson and Rosie Binham-Wilson

As an accountant specialising in the financial services sector, I know a lot of IFAs. But I’ve chosen to deal with Andy and the team at Escott Wealth Management to look after my own investments.

Peter Watkins

Andy Escott has looked after our investments for a number of years now. He has our total trust, and we are happy to recommend him to anyone looking for a financial adviser.

I’m more than happy to recommend the services of Escott Wealth Management, which always provides an efficient, friendly, and professional service. Over the years, Andy has given us a clear pathway with regard to managing our finances, which given the current climate has been challenging.

Bill Simpson and Sue Giles

We have worked with Andy for a number of years. He listens to our requirements and provides relevant investment products to suit our needs. He is readily available for advice and responds to queries very quickly. Friendly yet professional, and we would thoroughly recommend.
