Leading independent annuity service

As you only get one chance to secure the best annuity income, you want to ensure that you are dealing with the best annuity service.

The type of annuity you choose at the outset, and the benefit it provides, will affect the amount of income you receive both initially and over the period of the annuity.

Unlike any other investment you have made, if you get your annuity purchase wrong you CANNOT change it at a later date. It is vital, therefore, that you consider all the options available, so you secure the annuity that best suits your overall needs.  This means that you want to be secure in the knowledge that you are dealing with a company that has your best interests at heart.

The Annuity Centre is a part of the Chartwell Group Limited, an Independent Financial company that prides itself on the levels of service it provides to its clients.  This isn‘t just us saying this, we are regularly acknowledged within the financial services industry and have scooped several awards in the past few years.  These include:

  • Financial Adviser Overall IFA of the Year 2005
  • Financial Adviser Small Firm Life and Pensions Adviser 2005
  • Financial Adviser Small Firm IFA of the Year 2005
  • What Investment Best IFA 2004
  • Money Management IFA Professional Development Award 2004

We have over 30 years' experience within the Financial Services industry and, being totally independent, we work solely for the benefit of our clients, helping you maximise the income from your pensions.
