About us

We’ve never advertised. This is why.

Every client we have came from somebody else’s recommendation. These are their words, not ours — some of them describing relationships that have run for thirty years and more.

In their words

Some of these clients have been with us for over thirty years.

We have never advertised. Every client below arrived because somebody they trusted told them to ring us.

What follows is unedited. Names, professions and lengths of relationship are exactly as each person gave them to us. A few mention being talked out of something, or being helped through a bereavement. Those are the ones we're proudest of.

1985

Advising Lancashire families and businesses since the firm was founded.

Reverends John & Peter FoulkesLytham, retired Reverends

Fernleigh Wearden & Company have been my financial advisors for over 20 years. Paul Wearden has always offered sound financial advice based upon my individual needs and objectives. Paul delivers advice in a straightforward and honest manner. I feel as though he really cares about my finances and future.

Fernleigh Wearden & Co have been helping me to make decisions about my finances for many years now. What I like is that they are a friendly, approachable, family business. The advice I receive is prompt, timely, individual to me and is flexible as my circumstances change. Paul and Mark are very knowledgeable, yet explain things to me in simple, clear and practical terms to enable me to make my own choices and decisions. No pressure, nothing complicated, no worries.

Both Sue and I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks for all the financial planning and advice you have undertaken for us over the past 30 years. The expertise and attention to detail with which you, Paul and lately Mark have handled our financial affairs could not be faulted. Particularly reassuring to us is our feeling of certainty in the absolute integrity and commitment of all our dealings.

I have been a client of Fernleigh Wearden & Company for a number of years and have always found them to be most helpful in advising me on my investments and placing them where they would be most beneficial to me.

Jean WrightRetired

After a recent bereavement I needed to rely on Mark to give me advice on a number of financial issues. This he did, not only in his usual professional way, giving me sound, clear and concise advice, but also in a caring and considerate manner that I appreciated at that difficult time. Thank you Mark for everything you have done.

Pauline Phillips

The company is first class to deal with, efficient and trustworthy. I have no hesitation in recommending them wholeheartedly.

Pat BerryRetired Manager

Paul has always explained financial advice in the simplest ways so that I can understand and therefore can make a financial decision with confidence. Fernleigh Wearden & Company also advised me on my parent’s affairs after my mum died and lately my dad, which was done with the least fuss. Even the solicitor wanted to speak to him she was so impressed with their work.

Stuart MerrifieldDirector, Esspee Fabrications

Testimonials are the personal views of the clients who gave them and describe their own experience. They are not a guide to the advice you would receive and they are not a guarantee of any particular outcome. The value of investments can fall as well as rise.

Common questions

Things people ask before they ring.

Can I speak to an existing client before deciding?

In some cases, yes. Several of our longer-standing clients are happy to have an informal word with someone considering us. Ask when you ring and we’ll see what we can arrange.

Do you pay for reviews or testimonials?

No. We never have and never will. Everything on this page was given freely by a client and both the FCA and Google take a dim view of incentivised reviews.

Can I leave a review?

Please do — a few words go a long way for a small firm. Speak to whoever you deal with here and they’ll point you in the right direction.

What if my experience isn’t good?

Tell us and tell us early. We’d far rather hear it directly and put it right. If you’re still not satisfied, you can refer the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service, which is free and independent.
