Every year at Ardent we support a charity as we are great believers of giving something back. This year we will be raising much needed funds for Leukaemia UK. At the end of last year a member of our team, Donna Skidmore received devastating news which changed her life overnight, as she was diagnosed with leukaemia.
Donna is currently receiving various chemotherapy and is waiting for a stem cell donor so she can receive a stem cell transplant later this year. We are hoping to raise 2500 of vital funds for Leukaemia UK, the charity chosen by Donna as the work they do is vital for research into better treatment and the care of patients.

Whilst I'm knowledgeable about shares/investments/life planning etc, my wife has used Ardent for many years. I can honestly say that Michael, and more latterly Mark Fisher are EXCELLENT, and ensure that your interests come first, unlike some such companies who, in my opinion are likely to put their commissions as their biggest priority. I have no reservation in highly recommending Ardent through our involvement with Mark.
I'd suggest that investors stay clear of the larger, less personal services such as St James's Place and give Ardent a call.

Ardent were fantastic in helping us sort out our mortgage. We worked with Graham who went above and beyond to help us in every way he could. Firstly he managed to get us a really good mortgage despite having fixed term employment and then when our solicitors completely dropped the ball he was always available to give help and advice.

Excellent firm. These guys have helped me and numerous clients of mine over the years. Very happy to recommend them, especially for pensions. They can also do a whole review of your finances to keep you on track with visuals and clear explanations of what various financial decisions will mean for you in the long term, to save any nasty surprises!

I can't recommend Ardent enough. Graham did his all to ensure our mortgage wasn't just a great deal but was best for us and our situation. Complicated information communicated clearly and honestly. A great help to us and always on the end of the phone throughout the process. Have already recommended to family members.

Ardent were phenomenal from start to finish in assisting us with finding the perfect mortgage. We provided them with the maximum that we could afford and they provided us with a list of the best mortgage options within that bracket. They were all much better than we had found when looking ourselves.
The service was simple throughout and the online portal is very user friendly.
Brilliant customer care!

I highly recommend Ardent having received first class service arranging a mortgage through them. In particular Nick Blake was nothing short of amazing and really took the stress out of the whole process whilst securing a great mortgage product for us. I have and will continue recommending their services and wouldn’t think twice about using them again! Many thanks, Matthew & Katie.

I would recommend Ardent Financial Planning and in particular Ruth for her help and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble as she arranged the best mortgage for me with my circumstances. She kept me up to date as things developed and especially as changes happened over the whole process. She arranged the best deal, was friendly and very helpful. I would definitely approach Ardent again and would recommend them with out a doubt.

Ardent have been managing my finances for many years and I have always found everyone to be approachable and efficient. As my personal advisor, Gary has been fantastic and has provided really valuable advice in a friendly and supportive way. I would therefore highly recommend the Ardent team and have no hesitation in awarding 5 stars!

I've used Ardent for many years and have always received an excellent service. I can rely on them to be one step ahead with mortgages and renewals and have provided valuable pension advice that has paid dividends. They've saved me a great deal of time and money over the years and I plan to continue to use them for many years to come.
