Sky Blue Financial Planners 178-180 Oxford Road, Reading RG1 7PL

"My husband and I have worked with the team at Sky Blue for many years, we trust them with all our products, insurance, mortgages and pensions. Very trustworthy and knowledgeable"

"I was recommended Gary through a friend who said he was excellent - and I cannot fault Gary one bit. He goes above and beyond expectations in order to provide the best customer care as well as the best customer outcome. I'm a first time buyer that is purchasing a new built on my own. I was told it was an extremely stressful process, however, this has been made 10x easier by Gary!! I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Sky Blue Financial Planners!"

"I have always been so driven and focussed on ensuring I would own my own house before 30, it has always been one of my goals! Myself and my husband have been saving for almost 4 years now and have always had from friends and relatives that we’re boring or that we should live a little and not be so tight with our money, despite this we pushed on! I always knew getting a Mortgage was going to be difficult being self employed, young and not high earners. We first engaged with a Financial Adviser over 2 years ago and we didn’t have enough deposit and I needed longer to build up my accounts. We revisited this at the beginning of this year and was all looking promising until discovering the business wasn’t quite in the right place to qualify. This then concluded that we would have to wait at least another year, but ideally two and everything came to a halt. I thought we were so close and felt hugely disheartened by this, then suddenly thought to run it past Gary on the off chance he may be able to give some advice. Within a month, Gary was able to secure us a Mortgage on a better rate then we had first thought, less deposit needed and with one of the key lenders! I couldn’t believe it, this means so much to me and something I have put everything into since setting up my business. Now, just before I turn 26, we have a Mortgage! Not only is it amazing that Gary has allowed us to achieve our goal, but the communication, the clear explanation and the way the team took the time to talk through each stage and accommodate our slightly complicated situation was amazing. I would, and have done so already, recommend Gary and Sky Blue to all that I know. Thank you!"

"2 May 2018 Testimonial to Gary Winchester and Doug Cowan at SkyBlue IFA's I approached Gary and Doug for advice on rearranging our family finances, having consulted other IFA's I thought I should check out some of the advice they had given. I am so glad I did that. As a team Gary and Doug came up with a plan which generated substantial monthly savings and had more flexibility in the future. SkyBlue made introductions to other providers and implemented their plan very efficiently, with the help of the rest of their team (Amy in particular). I would have no hesitation in recommending SkyBlue as a team and will be using them in the future in this area of financial planning. Paul Sampson Director"

"I have known Doug and Gary for about eight years and can cheerfully recommend Sky Blue for wealth management planning, mortgage brokerage services and general insurance advice - full marks!"
