“My pension transfer was actioned by Bainlye Drake Wealth during Covid19 restrictions. The transfer was completed with hours to spare and it was a team effort. When the paperwork was forwarded however, the identification was not accepted. Simon found a place close to my home to scan additional ID, whilst he was out of the country. A coordinated team effort.”
