Client feedback

“Excellent communication - the trustee training course facilitators were clearly knowledgeable and very experienced in their field and able to convey concept and information in a way I was able to understand. ”

Phillipa McFadyen,

RSPCA

“The service runs very smoothly, might have expected a few more difficulties transitioning to a professional trustee.”

“Good, helpful guidance.”

Christine Morris,

Twyford Bathrooms

“In my experience, not all professional trustees are able to cope with tricky or potentially confrontational situations. I find PSGS has massive experience in getting involved, earning the respect of others and resolving such issues. They get stuck in – they are a first rate team.”

Katherine Dandy,

Partner at Sackers & Partners

“The work that has been done has been delivered beyond expectations.”

Head of Trustee Services

“We have a good partnership the team really understand what we need and our knowledge eg budgets - "we don't have a referee" - very helpful. Challenge advisers but with a practical objective. Thanks to PSGS, GMP equalisation has been just a process. ”
