“For many years, Mrs Nicola Marker of Hansford Bell has been my Financial Adviser.  I am fully satisfied with the advice and service I have been given and the courtesy shown to me.”

Sheila Hayes, Plymouth

“Hansford Bell have made us secure in these difficult times.  Need we say more?”

G.& J.M. Plymouth

“I can honestly say that your help and advice have been invaluable to Marcia and myself. You gave us complete peace of mind, and our confidence that you were tailoring our investments to exactly suit our needs was well-placed. Your (frequently uncanny!) ability to know when to move and when to stay put in the markets has demonstrated your perceptive understanding of the financial world, at a time when a clear head and strong nerves were needed to steer a course through very choppy waters.

When Marcia died, you guided me through Probate sensitively and unobtrusively, giving me much needed support and help, for which I will always be grateful. Friends and family, who I have suggested should see you, have all been immediately impressed by your warmth and obvious integrity, and I have had no hesitation in recommending you to them.”

Allan Green, South Hams

“Over the years Hansford Bell’s advice has given me wise financial planning with my limited income. This has ensured peace of mind especially whilst bringing up a young family on my own.”

AG, Saltash

“I have every confidence in the way that Hansford Bell handle my money. Of course, they are professional in their approach but, unlike the dull necessity of an appointment with the dentist or the lawyer, a meeting with Hansford Bell is a breath of fresh air – a hark back to the days when your bank manager, for example, actually knew who you were. Not an easy thing to achieve in these faceless days. I could not recommend them enough.” 

D.W. , Totnes

“If I had known about Hansford Bell twenty years ago, I would have been able to take early retirement by now. Not only knowledgeable and effective but also staggeringly efficient - highly recommended.”

Kathie Applebee, Liskeard

“We have been clients of Nikki& Steve for many years, and have always found their financial knowledge and advice to be very sound and beneficial. We not hesitate to recommend their services.”

Lorraine & Bill, Devon

“I have found Hansford Bell to be approachable and helpful: no question was too silly and the explanations were put in layman’s terms.”

CB, Torpoint

“Nikki Marker has been my financial advisor since the early nineties, and has proved to me how capable and professional she is at her job.  Having sold my business five years ago and needing some advice on where to put the proceeds, Nikki has improved  my capital investments considerably, and allowing for all the volatility of the financial markets during this time  makes her achievements even more remarkable. Also, I have been advised well on pensions over the years. I would highly recommend Nikki Marker to anyone looking to invest their savings.”

Nigel Wild, Kingsbridge

“Our association with Steve Marker and subsequently Hansford Bell was established over 10 years ago and during this time our financial planning and portfolio have benefited greatly from their helpful and professional advice.
This advice, based on an up-to-date awareness of our situation, has always been presented clearly and honestly and of particular value has been their accessibility and willingness to discuss and explain matters face to face.
As ongoing clients of Hansford Bell we have confidence in both their professional ability and integrity.  We wish them every success.”

Peter & Christine Wilson

Kate Mackay, Modbury

“Hansford Bell’s advice has saved me hours of time and stress.  They sourced a highly competitive mortgage for me which was the best in the market.  They continue to provide me with comprehensive and well informed advice around my international personal and business affairs.  I have been a client for several years and enjoy peace of mind knowing that my financial affairs are taken of.  I am very pleased with the service I have received from Hansford Bell and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and family.”

Helen McAnally, London

“Recently Hansford Bell dealt with an extremely difficult and problematic mortgage company for us. During this extremely stressful and prolonged process, they were helpful, attentive, polite and efficient. I couldn't wish for more and would thoroughly recommend them.”
