Why People Choose BlackBear for Pension Advice
We’re not a corporate advice chain looking to grow fast and sell out.
We’re a family-owned firm that’s been serving local people and businesses with a history tracing back to 1978 - and we intend to keep it that way.
At BlackBear, you’re not just another “client number.” You’ll speak to the same adviser who knows your goals, your history, and your family - meet our team here.
That’s how we’ve worked for decades - and how our team will keep working for decades to come.

Afterwards he was very reassuring explaining my financial position and is always available to guide me with any problems I have. I thank him for those times."
