I have known Richard Higgs for a number of years. I first met Richard when he was visiting my parents for their yearly review on investments & could immediately see how professional he was. He has all the financial advisor qualifications. He later helped me merge 3 pensions into one. At all times he helped me understand what was happening. He has continued to build the business up and now employs a team who also cover many other aspects of everyday life. He named the business Harold Stephens after his Grandfather.

We’ve been working with Richard since 2015 and haven’t looked back. He’s gone from advising us while we were employed with young children, through to us becoming self-employed with all the additional pension etc. planning needs that entails, and all the while helping us with saving for our growing family.

All the way through Richard has been friendly, knowledgeable, and super-helpful. It always feels like he’s fully up-to-date with our situation, and makes helpful suggestions about things we might want to consider, taking into account our wishes such as ethical investments. He has such a friendly, welcoming team around him, and it’s a real delight to have him as our advisor. We would thoroughly recommend!

Ten years ago a smart young man knocked on our door and introduced himself as Richard Higgs, asking if he could provide any financial advice to us through his new business. Since then Richard’s business, now Harold Stephens, has grown with his team providing a personal and caring service with sound and well researched advice enabling our investment to grow.

Alongside the business he and his team make time for many fund raising events benefitting several charities encouraging his clients with social and fun events.

When we retired we realised that we needed help to plan our finances in retirement and ensure that we had thought about all we should consider as we embarked on the next stage of life together. We chanced upon Richard and the Harold Stephens team and were very fortunate to do so. They provide a friendly, professional service in a homely environment in the heart of Westbury.

It is good to deal with people who not only know their business, but also know us and take a genuine interest in our lives and changing circumstances. We are always given a very warm welcome (and a cup of coffee!) and feel that Richard and his team care about us by providing no pressure advice and the time to chat things through.There are so many uncertainties in life and in financial matters - we find it so reassuring to work with a small, personal team rather than a large, faceless organisation.

I am so pleased I decided to get in touch with Richard. He helped me to re-organise my finances so that I get a better income. I had no idea how to go about this and Richard's advice and practicality in this matter has been invaluable. Richard keeps me very much up to date and his clear explanations and friendly manner are much appreciated

The service I have received from Richard and Penny has, so far, been excellent. Both of them, at the end of the telephone, have dealt with any problems very quickly and efficiently. The local office is also a very good part of the service, another personal touch. The help I received to sort out a pension from the 1970's was sorted out extremely well and very much to my advantage, thanks to their knowledge and assistance.
