We pioneered Personal Equity Plans (PEPs) and their replacement Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), and defined the development of this special market nationally. Our expertise in ISAs also covers “Self-Invested” Personal Pensions (SIPPs) of which many clients have already taken full advantage.

In recent years we have added Child Trust Funds (CTFs) to the menu and more recently Junior Individual Savings Accounts (JISAs) giving you the investment vehicles you need to look after all the family.

However, we do not just give you sound information to enable you to choose your own investments, all administered by us, we also specialise in Investment Management and Discretionary Management services.

I have been a Pilling’s Discretionary Managed Client for over 30 years. The high levels of service provided over the years has been excellent and I’ve been delighted with the investment performance to the extent that I have referred my colleagues, friends and family to the firm. I have had a reassuring relationship with my investment manager Nigel Moore since he joined the company. Over the years and in times of change it has been reassuring that Nigel has stayed resolute and performed amicably in managing my portfolio. I can rely on him for his sound advice and stewardship of my investments.

I have been a client of Pilling’s for over 20 years and during that time they have achieved a solid return on my investments. Their advise is always based on extensive research and analysis, but above all they are approachable and friendly. Your investments are personalised as to how “hands on you want to be” and regardless of your investment knowledge and experience they will always work with you to achieve the best outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending Nigel and the team at Pilling’s they have over the years helped to ensure my future is secure.

For the last 17 years we have been delighted to have our investments managed by Pilling’s. They provide a friendly, professional, bespoke service. Our Client Manager, Nigel Moore, is very knowledgeable, able and informed. As clients we are valued as people, not numbers at a call centre.

I became a client of Pilling and Co., quite by chance. My first contact with the firm, again quite by chance, happened to be with Michel Talbot. Out of such serendipity good things have come. Pillings has always been efficient, responsible, and considerate in dealing with my account and I would certainly recommend its services. Following my initial contact, I have developed a close link with Michael Talbot and have always found him to be conscientious, well-informed, and utterly professional. It is refreshing to have someone at the other end of a telephone line with whom one can discuss ideas. It makes for such a refreshing contrast to today’s fashion for sterile dealings with an anonymous computer. He is, as they say, ‘a safe pair of hands’ with whom clients can feel secure. Consequently, I had no hesitation in recommending his services to my daughter and son-in-law.
