Testimonials

Thomas has been continuously there for guidance, help and advice since I graduated. He is one of the most trustworthy professionals that I have come in contact with and will always seek the best for your interest. Thomas has a great network of contacts, and has become more of a coach and a mentor to me as I take the next big step in my career. I wholeheartedly recommend him and his firm Essential Money.

Many thanks for responding to my email so promptly. Your advice was spot on as usual, and has just saved me several hundred pounds this year.

I can't thank you enough.

Both [Rob Griffin & Thomas Dickson] provided great support and advice which was much appreciated as a newly qualified dentist.

Thomas - I have just read your article in the probe and just wanted to say how refreshing it was to find somebody expounding a practical view about incorporation rather than the usual rubbish that one reads from accountants just looking for work!
Morris & Co

Thomas - Thanks so much for this comprehensive and helpful information and for the patient, careful and clear way you took me through all these details on Tuesday. It was a great help and encouragement and we are so glad to have your help. Many thanks again.

Thanks to both Sarah and Danielle for their support throughout the process- very easy and thorough to deal with. Special thanks to Danielle for her patience, perseverance and hard work- very much appreciated.

Brilliant, as ever Thomas

Once again, Sarah Gwilt has been excellent - extremely helpful, friendly and empathetic during what became a prolonged process. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Essential Money - all the team there have always been professional, courteous and, most importantly, helped us manage our finances better!

Moving day today - thanks to Sarah also: feel free to use my comments of a fantastic and very appreciated service from the both of you! 

It is my pleasure to recommend Sarah as she has given me excellent service. When I think about how I sweated sorting out mortgages myself before!!!Visit www.qualityorthodontics.co.uk

Thomas Dickson has been my financial adviser for the last 5 years. During this time he has consistently offered a high level of service and advice. Since starting Essential Money, he and the team around him have continued to offer a fantastic service. They are friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. I feel now that should I ever fall ill or have any other problems, financially I am now safe for the future. This is down to the time and support I have received from Thomas. I have referred family and friends to Thomas, all of whom have been equally impressed with the service they have received. Visit www.qualityorthodontics.co.uk

Thomas – thank-you SO much for taking time out of your schedule to come and speak to us.  Finance is something which the rest of our lives hinge around, whether we like it or not, and our basic training in it is dreadful.  With your mini-bar giveaway I think you may well be voted one of the years top speakers….. You really helped make sense of it for us ALL (me included)

Thank you so much for the excellent service over the years. Be assured of my loyalty in years to come.

 Thomas has been a regular contributor to The Probe for a while, and he is well known for his clear explanations of tax law and giving sound advice...a wonderful human being!

3 years ago I had a dream of being the owner of successful dental practices. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of Thomas Dickson and his team I am well on my way to realising that dream. Thomas was able to see my vision and help me plan accordingly to achieve, starting with arranging capital funding to purchase premises and initial equipment to two years down the line refinancing to enable me to expand and consolidate.” Thomas has always offered sound advice and nothing is ever too much trouble for him. I know that should I need advice or guidance he is always at the end of the phone or an email. I would wholly recommend Thomas and Essential Money as I have found them to be extremely customer focused, excellent advisors and very professional.

I first met Thomas fresh out of university when he joined a company where I worked at that time as the Senior Consultant. I'd never have guessed he'd lose his hair before me. Thomas spent some time with me in his initial training stages and it was clear from the start that that Thomas had what it took to be an outstanding financial adviser. As a friend and fellow financial adviser for over 14 years now I can personally vouch for his integrity and commitment to helping clients with their finances. He's a bit of a nerd when it comes to studying and anything to do with IT and I admire the fact that Thomas takes his subject so seriously - having achieved the Advanced Financial Planning Qualification and then qualified as a Certified Financial Planner^CM, one of only 670 in the country. When Thomas told me that he was setting up a company on his own I was delighted and immediately offered to give him an endorsement. He replied that might be a little odd – one financial advisor endorsing another – but I suggested that only other advisors really know how good we are as practitioners. All I can say is …. if I was a dentist I'd want to be one of Thomas's clients.

Both Annika and myself would like to thank you both very very much for all of your help and hard work with the mortgage ... I would just like to give you some feedback in regards to Sarah and the service she provided. Both Annika and I were extremely impressed with her dedication, patience and commitment to the job and she managed did the impossible by managing to turn around the second mortgage it what I considered an near on impossible time scale...

[Estate Agents] also commented on Sarah when we completed saying that they thought that she was one of the most professional financial advisers they had worked with her and she had kept them updated and in the loop all the way...

Sarah also has gone over and above the services of her job and has offered me invaluable advice in regards to renting our flat. This again is something she didn't have to do and we appreciated it very much.

Sarah, we personally want to thank you for assisting us it what I can only describe as one of the most stressful process I have ever experienced. It was a pleasure dealing with you...

Thanks again, we really did appreciate your help and guidance.

We would just like to say what a great help your financial services have been to us, more so since we have recently become partners from being associates.

We have found Thomas to be very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. More importantly your ‘down to earth’ mannerism makes you approachable and your prompt attention to our queries, ensures the smooth running of our financial affairs.

Wishing you all every success in the future.

My wife and I are both dentists. We arrived in England as young dentists with no experience in the business world. Our first problem was, income protection cover, what do we need and what are available? Secondly what pension schemes are available for dentist? One telephone call to Thomas Dickson was all that was needed. Living in Stoke on Trent at the time Thomas set up a profile for us and came to us in Stoke with the necessary paper work. We can now concentrate just on our work knowing that our financial matters are in good hands.

Since our first meeting I was confident in using him for non-dental related problems. Being a South African it is difficult to find a competitive mortgage rate. I left every thing in Thomas ‘s hand and to the surprise of the agent I had a mortgage set up in four weeks. He also advised me about insurance.

I already recommended his company to two of my friends, who also have been very satisfied with their really outstanding service.

Although having returned from overseas with a wealth of knowledge and experience in my chosen profession, my finances were in somewhat of a disarray. That is until I was referred to you by a colleague. Since then you have helped me sort out any financial matters, relating to all aspects of my professional work and personal matters too, and have given me valuable advice whenever I needed it.

With ever changing times and economic conditions, finances have to be reviewed periodically, and I have no doubt that you will always be there to assist in your usual prompt, efficient manner. Consequently, I would have no objection in recommending your services to any of my colleagues.

I knew that I had to have some sort of order to my finances and with my financial situation changing in several ways I found your advice was just what I needed at the right time! The manner in which you simplified all the jargon and made it relevant to my circumstances was very helpful and kick started my desire to sort out my money matters. I think your services have been a HUGE help to me personally and I would have no hesitation recommending you to my friends and family.
