Will recommend without hesitation
My adviser Josh dealt with queries about my pension transfer in an efficient and professional manner, keeping me updated of the progress along the way and assisting in getting a very good exchange rate when it was time for the transfer from UK. I am very happy with his service and would thoroughly recommend him. Infact, I had been approached by two other companies but chose Josh because of the trust he instilled in me.

Professional And Knowledgeable. Highly Recommended!
From the minute I first spoke with Josh Williams, I felt completely at ease, he has such a professional and friendly manner. He has always been so open and transparent with every question asked, I had an instant connection and good feeling about our future business together.
Basically I knew nothing about what possibilities I had with my pensions, I had many many questions about how it all worked. Josh was not only thorough with is answers, but I can honestly say I don’t know how he had the patience for me at times, he even spoke with my father to answer his questions about my options, and even my father was impressed with Josh’s professional manner and knowledge, at such a young age.

Great Experience
I came across Josh when I was wanting to consolidate my pensions in the UK and put them into new investments. At first when I was considering this I was sceptical, as you hear all kinds of horror stories. I had a meeting with Josh and was impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm. He put me at ease and answered all my questions which put me at rest. The transition was handled very well considering there was a pandemic going on. My trust in them and Josh is so much that I have chosen to invest further with them. I receive regular statements which shows how my investments are growing. Josh answers any queries I have and has replied to all my messages. My experience with Ambient Wealth and Josh in particular has been a positive one and have recommended other people who have also echoed my experience.

Easy to endorse Josh Williams!
I invested with Josh on the recommendation of friends. I’m very happy I did. I had money that I didn’t know what to do with, and after we talked, he put me at ease and was confident he’d look after me. I still feel that way. He keeps in touch and offered to be of assistance in an unrelated financial matter that I had mentioned, and wasn’t sure about. Happy to be doing business with him.

Josh has been a great financial advisor for me, always happy to discuss options, clarify financial information, and simplify jargon. He had a no nonsense approach which is really refreshing as I’m pretty allergic to BS. Along the way he has always been available when I needed to catch up with him and been able to provide answers to my questions.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to cut through the complexity of financial planning.
