I have used bdhSterling for pensions advice through the early stages of my retirement. It was recommended to me by my previous pensions advisor when he ceased providing this service. It has given me several useful tips as well as managing my pension funds up to the point when I started to draw a regular pension from them. I would recommend bdhSterling for helpful friendly advice.

Way back in 2012, bdhSterling advised me to invest my pension into a scam, and I lost the lot. After ten years, and only after co-opting the much-appreciated assistance of the Financial Ombudsman, I have managed to get some money back from them.
In 2012 – then trading under the name Global QROPS Ltd –bdhSterling advised me to invest a pension I had saved into a scheme run by Global Forest Investments (GFI). The second the money transferred was the last I saw of it. GFI’s two directors were arrested in 2019 following a lengthy investigation by the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and are scheduled

While transferring my pension to NZ I engaged the services of bdhSterling to advise on the UK part of the process. My advisor, Paul Lawson-Tyers, was not only professional, informative and thorough, but he also made sure my questions were answered in a way that I could understand fully. The time difference needed to be taken into consideration but after some late night / early morning meetings I came away feeling much more relaxed with this daunting process. Can't recommend Paul Lawson-Tyres and the whole bdhSterling team enough.

Paul Lawson -Tyers was recommended to me by a UK financial advisor who could not work with me as I live in the USA. Paul has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He is very professional and thorough. We spent a number of hours (many of them outside of his normal working day) discussing and he was always available and responsive.
I am absolutely happy with the end result. It has clarified my thinking and I will now be taking the next steps and retiring in the very near future. -Thankyou Paul!

I dealt with Paul Lawson Tyers for the transfer of my UK pension to NZ. I found Paul and the bdhSterling team to be very professional, helpful and supportive throughout the process. There is a lot to consider when transferring a pension and I felt that Paul gave me as much of his time as I needed in order to ensure I considered and understood all the issues relating to this transfer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul and bdh Sterling to anyone considering whether to transfer a pension

Paul Lawson-Tyers, who has been working to amalgamate my bits and pieces of work place pension funds in one place and invest it correctly for me is a thorough professional in what he does and an absolute pleasure to work with, even though I was thousands of miles away.
He instills confidence in clients so that you don't have to worry about any steps in the process and always a prompt replier to any queries.
I recommend him to help anyone with their pension issues.

BdhSterling has provided me with transfer advice for my pension from the UK to Norway. I am so impressed and pleased with the level of competence and customer care that I have now decided to use bdhSterling again for my other pension. Paul Lawson-Tyers, my main contact at bdhSterling, has been nothing short of phenomenal - he helped me through the whole process with plenty of dedication and patience.

Paul’s expertise in his field is exceptional. I was immediately impressed by his openness and honesty as to how our relationship could work. He was clear in his questioning, and more importantly, I understood what he shared with me. Paul takes the time to know you, listen to you carefully, consider your situation holistically, follow a specific approach to ensure they capture all elements that might impact your situation. A top quality financial advisor whom that I have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends alike.

Although I have a financial services background, transferring pension assets from the UK to Australia is specialist work, and needs doing 100% right first time.
The BDH guys over-delivered with a lot of knowledge, experience and professionalism, which in turn gave me the peace of mind I needed throughout this process.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them. BDH exceeded my own high expectations.
