I have always found Darren to be professional and courteous, offering sound advice in relation to all aspects of my investment portfolio.

In my financial life I want integrity, professionalism and simplicity. Darren provides all three. I trust him to place the needs of my family first. His professionalism goes unquestioned; he does what he says he is going to do, when he says that he is going to do it. He has both depth and breadth of knowledge and if there is something that he doesn't know, he will have someone on hand that does. Darren keeps things simple, he gives the right amount of detail so that an informed decision can be made without getting bogged down. I can certainly recommend Darren.

"Darren has helped me to review and re-arrange a number of investments that were not performing and needed to be changed. He has also provided very useful expertise, both directly and through his team of St. James's Place advisers, who have helped clarify some complex areas including inheritance planning. As a result I have been able to establish much more suitable financial arrangements for myself and my children.

"Darren clearly has a lot of energy and has set up what is becoming a significant financial practice. The backup from St. James's Place is quite comprehensive, including quality reviews of all transactions, and I have had full confidence in what Darren has done for me."

Stuart Gillies - Retired Global IT Infrastructure Manager for Major Oil Company

Darren patiently asked many questions to discover my wife and my own financial situations and requirements. He showed a real interest in our needs and explained our options with great skill. His persistence and identification of what we required has given us an excellent balance on our investment. A great pleasure to work with for our future.

E.R.

After being made redundant and receiving a large lump sum, I wanted to invest my money wisely and also review my overall financial situation. I received a recommendation from a close friend and attended an initial interview with Darren Mercer. I found him to be very knowledgeable, professional and approachable whilst not being pushy. I was able to make a decision about my finances, whilst feeling confident that he had my best interest at heart. I have since recommended Darren to several of my colleagues.
