From the start speaking to Chris he went through all of the requirements from myself and what I was looking for. Following on from this we were able to set up PRB to suit my needs. The admin team and Nicola were excellent providing documentation when needed and answered any queries I had no matter the topic. I'd highly recommend the team from Pension Advice.

Thank you to Nicola Hughes and Louise Williams for all your help and advice. They explained everything to me and helped me with any concerns I had and answered my emails very quickly. I would highly recommend this company.

My case is a bit tricky as I had lived and worked in Ireland for over 17 years and had a private pension taken out through my employer. When I moved to another EU country for good, progressing with my pension and transferring the funds was a major problem as my employer is the pension trustee, but is not allowed to advise or support. After doing some research and shopping around (and getting false information from a very big international pension provider), I found Pension Advice. 4 months later: All is done and dusted, I have a great new pension scheme and a personal advisor to look after my financial interests: Pension Advice!!! I can not stress enough how important this is.

Absolute pleasure to deal with. I have no experience with pensions Chris and the team made it very easy and understandable as we moved pensions from one company to another. I highly recommend them. Thanks again for all your help.

I was looking at bringing a uk pension back to Euroland but any advice I got was very negative and what a difficult process it would be. I got in contact with Chris and after an initial meeting I felt very confident that they could help. It is a bit of a process but with Louise and Chris looking after all the paperwork it was all sorted with a minimum of fuss. My pension fund is now in an ARF and thankfully no more exchange rate worries. I would highly recommend Pension Advice to anyone in the same situation and look forward to seeing my fund grow. They are likeable people and that is important to me to work with them long term.

Chris and Louise were great in helping me sort out transferring my UK pension funds to Ireland. I had put this off for 20 years as it seemed far too complex. With their guidance, the process was very straightforward - at least on my part! Louise always kept in touch and was very persistent in dealing with the funds in the UK who seemed to want to make this more difficult! Thank you both. I have already recommended you to friends in a similar situation.

I had a query regarding State / Private pension issues. This was not exactly PensionAdvice's area but they were exceptionally helpful and took the time to discuss the issues, clarify my queries and point me in the right direction. Will definitely use them in the future when the time comes.

Professional , Knowledgeable , Experts in the pension area . I read the reviews and arranged a meeting with Chris . My case was quite complex with a U.K. scheme and two Irish schemes . He was a great source of information and continuously provided me with expert advice and direction . The best thing I ever did was to engage Chris . I will reflect this by encouraging my colleagues and friends to engage pension advice as their trusted financial advisor. Highly recommended.

I couldn't of asked for a better service and financial advice. Chris and Louise were courteous and efficient. They kept me in the loop at every stage of the process. Any time I spoke to them they made sure that I fully understood what was going on and I felt at all times in good hands. I'll definitely be doing more business with this friendly company.

I had a bit of a difficult situation where I had a private pension fund with my employer, but then moved abroad and the pension fund needed to be moved into an account in my name. Pension Advice helped me through the whole process and set me up with the right options. Excellent communication, excellent help during the whole process.

I’m no good with finances/accounting. I’ve always found it confusing. The staff were amazing and really put my mind at ease. I’m thankful for their help and patience.

I worked for a UK based company here in Ireland for 25 yrs. They folded in 2006. My pension was entrusted to various insurance companies since then . As I'm 59 yrs old I requested a pension statement. Having considered my pension options with the UK insurance company who held my Irish occupational pension , I opted to take the transfer value, move it to Ireland, access the tax free portion and put the balance it into an ARF here in Ireland. Easier said than done. The UK company holding my pension would only deal with a UK registered broker even though I was in Ireland and never actually worked in the UK. This is where Pension Advice come in. I contacted Chris Crowley and he assured me that he and his team could sort this out . Naturally enough there was a bit of paperwork to be completed and Louise Williams steered me through that without a hitch. I also spoke to Amy on a couple of occasions and she was very helpful also . The process took 4 to 5 months and is now completed .The investment advice I received from Chris was first class and well explained. I am now in receipt of my pension and its invested here in Ireland where I want it to be. I consider myself fortunate to have discovered Pension Advice when I did . One of my better decisions without a doubt . Michael

I contacted Pension Advice to get some help with transferring an AVC from the UK to Ireland. I had previously tried other companies who could give me no help. When I spoke with Chris he was very helpful and gave clear and concise information outlining the process. He then passed me over to Louise who was my contact person. From my first call with Louise I found her to be efficient, professional and extremely helpful, and I felt very confident that I had finally found the company who could help with my transfer. The process took a lot longer than anticipated due to hold ups and red tape at both UK and NI ends, but Louise was always willing to communicate with these agencies on my behalf, and push for progress. Every time I thought I was getting nowhere, Louise sent off a very effective communication which got things moving again. I really did appreciate having an advocate on my end for whom nothing was too much trouble. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend this company to anyone looking for pension advice. Thank you Louise and Chris for an excellent service.

Chris and Louise absolutely nailed the advice and service aspects of transferring my UK pension to Ireland. The advice I received was very useful, reduced admin costs and the admin overhead as a self-employed person. Louise monitored progress and provided updates throughout ensuring that everything was taken care of as efficiently as possible. An absolute pleasure to deal with- highly recommended.
