About Nexus
Nexus was set up by Directors Phil Frapple and Chris Rigby to provide high quality, clear, friendly, independent financial advice to clients.
Based in Bridgwater, Somerset, we have expanded since the practice was founded back in 1999. We now have advisers and clients right across the UK, providing a local service in the comfort of your own home. We have though still retained our ethos of providing clear friendly advice, as well as many of our original clients who continue to use and recommend our services to others.
We have developed within our team of advisers and paraplanners a high level of expertise particularly in investment and retirement planning.
At Nexus we provide a personalised service to help take the hassle out of finding the right policy, investment, or mortgage. By offering independent impartial advice our clients benefit from access to the broadest range of products and services available from the whole of the marketplace. All clients receive a free initial consultation, and are provided with clear information. We're also always happy to explain anything which isn't immediately clear.
Whatever your financial concern, whether it's investments, mortgages, retirement income, or protecting your family or lifestyle, our advisers have the knowledge and experience to find you the most suitable solution to help you achieve your financial goals.
