Testimonials

I can’t describe how pleased I have been with my decision to join Sandringham. Their support as been first class, right from first contact, through the application process and now has established business. From first meeting Steve Braidford the Managing Director I knew that Sandringham was the right choice. Steve positioned Sandringham in a straight-forward, easy to deal with "non-pushy" sort of way. Thankfully the office and support staff are equally as enjoyable to work with.

Knowing that we have support whenever necessary through the Helpdesk for general queries or where support is required for new challenges is a huge benefit in a forever changing and challenging environment. Having the facilities made available through Paraplanning or where support is required for new training allows us as individuals to grow our business and professionalism in various ways with these channels available to us as a Sandringham Financial Partner.
