Ben is well informed and engaged - he has a strategic approach to investment & is an excellent communicator.
Ben and his team are on point with their knowledge and are always at the ready to assist with any queries or questions. I would have no hesitation to recommend them for any of your personal insurance requirements.
After experiencing a radical change in personal circumstances, it became apparent that I would need to rethink my finances and how best to go forward. Not knowing anything at all about superannuation, investments etc as it's not my area of expertise and I'm clever enough to know my limitations, I put out a call to my friends for a recommendation for someone reputable who could give me solid advice in a way that wasn't going to suck my will to live... and Ben was recommended to me! And I must say, he has been BRILLIANT. Ben has gone above and beyond to research and understand the particular nuances of my situation, and has, with my full approval, brought my particular case to a broader panel to fully explore the options and implications implicit in my situation. This really impressed me. none of us can hope to know everything about all things, but we should have the wisdom and the insight to understand where our limitations lie and where seeking other perspectives and expertise is the most appropriate course of action. Ben is exceptional. He knows his stuff and takes the time to present all the options, in a way that is accessible to his individual clients. I am grateful to have found him right when I needed someone to tell me what my options where, not dress up the realities and work within the parameters of my goals and values. Thank you Ben and the team at Lion and Shield, I look forward to working working with you into the future.
