Mr and Mrs W

Woking

We've been very impressed by the foresight the team at Tees have shown, for example, with planning for pensions, in light of the new rules introduced by the government. We’ve been made to think about our approach to finance in a completely new way and Tees were instrumental in this approach.

Mrs Mary Pope

Toni Chalmers-Smith and her colleagues define "where there's a will there's a way". Toni demonstrated tenacity, drive and an ability to think round problems and find solutions to deliver a result. Toni and the team at Tees are a must for anyone considering financial advice.
