Empire Wealth - London

Gareth was a real pleasure to work with. As an Australian working in the UK I was struggling exploring the complexities with different financial solutions that would meet my needs. Gareth was able to cut through this, listening to what my needs are and able to provide an investment plan that would. He is very knowledgable and able to offer advise for consideration such as implementing a will and state pension considerations. I highly recommend Gareth at Empire Wealth.

Gareth has been hands down the best result of LinkedIn networking for me! Having nearly zero idea about portfolios and investments, Gareth has set me up on a path where I am feeling secure about my future. He listened patiently, properly understanding what I would like to do/not do, my risk aversion(!) and untangle my slightly complicated employment situation etc. He then put together a well thought out and diverse portfolio which is already starting to show results (in less than 3 months).

Gareth has also taken time to understand my pension, insurance covers I have in Australia and given me good advice on what I should do to protect my interests here in the UK.

Throughout all of this, the standout has been his responsiveness, friendliness and his willingness to answer the hundreds of questions I had! He even went through another long meeting to make sure my partner also felt comfortable with what/where we were putting our money in.

All in all, I highly highly recommend Gareth's services to get a grip on your finances and put it to good use instead of keeping it in the bank.

I connected with Gareth via LinkedIn as his profile and experience seemed like a perfect match for what I needed. His expert knowledge of both UK and Australian financial systems and products is paired with an ability to really listen to what I wanted to plan for. He finds the right balance between risk, preference and growth so that I have confidence that I am heading in the exact right direction. He also puts up with all my questions and is super responsive, not just at set times of the year, and is very patient when I completely change my 10 year plan! Would recommend Gareth the anyone looking for smart and pragmatic financial advice.

Gareth reached out to me on linkedin. I'm based in London but have portfolios in both UK and Oz and wanted to see if there was anything additional I needed to do for both portfolios.

Gareth met up with my partner and I to discuss our finances and he was able to run our portfolios through his models, carefully explaining what his process was. I appreciated his candor and patience with the whole process - would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar position.

Gareth and his team at Empire Wealth have been nothing short of exceptional. Exploring the art of the possible has meant that we were able to understand the pathways we had available, and we could choose the pace at which we wanted to grow. Everything was explained clearly and the customer service was top notch. I highly recommend for the level of expertise and the excellent client centric focus.

As Australian expats living in the UK, we were looking for a financial planning solution for our complex needs. We were seeking an independent financial planner that could help us create and implement a diversified strategy across property and share investments, along with an insurance review..
After reviewing a number of different offerings, we settled on working with Gareth from Empire wealth, and could not be happier with our decision. Through a detailed review of our finances, investment appetite and future needs, he has created a long term plan which we are now in the process of implementing, along with helping procure more adequate insurance cover.

A pleasure to deal with and highly recommended.

Gareth was extremely hospitable and understanding of my financial goals from the moment I engaged his services. He has provided value-add and responded to any queries in a timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services to family and friends.

Before working with Gareth, I struggled to keep on top of all the tax and financial changes in the UK and Australia. I tried googling the answers myself. In the end it was just too much. That’s when I got Gareth to take a look at my situation and make sense of it.
By the end of our first meeting I could see all the “tax tricks” I was missing, it was awesome!
If you’ve been frustrated trying to find the answers, I can’t recommend Gareth / Empire Wealth enough.
