The Sheldon Flanders team sponsor race 10 at Nottingham Races

After a very successful first half of the year creating bespoke solutions for our clients, due mainly to the hard work and diligence of our staff, Sheldon Flanders decided to build on the team ethos and spend some quality time outside of the work environment.

We spent an amazing night at Nottingham Races cementing team relations, getting us ready to carry on the successes of the 1st half of the year.

Big thanks to Nathan Corden, one of the owners who ensured that we had top notch hospitality. We would thoroughly recommend the races for a great night out.

RE: Testimonial for Karen Sheldon – Sheldon Flanders Financial Services Being an expert insurance broker who pride ourselves on the service and products we provide to our customers we have built a team of close referral partners who we know can trust and will provide the same to our customers and contracts when we recommend them. Having worked with Karen and her team for a few years and having used their services personally, myself and my team are pleased to say that Karen and her team at Sheldon Flanders Financial Services offer a personal service and an expertise that is first class. Couple this with the knowledge that they are totally independent and hold qualifications that most IFA’s do not is the reason why they are our number one choice when referring clients, contacts, family and friends for pensions, investments and protection insurance advice. I look forward to our continuing partnership for many years to come. Sean Kinsella Partner

14th June 2018 Karen Sheldon - Testimonial To whom it may concern, Like many sole traders who made the decision to start working for themselves, I had somewhat neglected to plan what to do on when I didn’t want to work for myself anymore, or anyone else for that matter. Having been employed previously, I had a number of pension pots in different companies no clear idea what any of them amounted to. My previous IFA had sorted these out for me into one new ‘’pot’’ but hadn’t really explained whether it would be enough and what I could do to help it grow. That’s when I asked for the help of Karen Sheldon. Firstly, Karen went through my lifestyle now and to see what parts of it I wanted to keep after retiring, she looked at my family’s financial situation around our mortgage and the age of my children and what we all might need in the future. She then asked me to apply to the government to see what my state pension would entitle me to, something no other IFA has ever asked me to do, and then Karen went to work looking at the arrangements others had made for me alongside the state pension and what sort of lifestyle it would give me. Fortunately, it seems I am better prepared than most and Karen was very honest in telling me that she didn’t really need to do anything at this point. However, and again, this was something no other IFA had done, Karen gave me some scenarios where it would be a good idea for me to contact her in future to make sure I could use that to my advantage helping me in the future. Karen is a thoroughly professional and friendly person to deal with, her attention to detail when going through something quite complex (to me anyway) has made things clearer than ever before and I know that my future, and that of my family is in safe hands. Thank you! Ian Trembirth, Trembirth Design

December 1, 2017 Karen Sheldon Dear Karen Sheldon: I am writing to express my gratitude for the help and advice Karen of Sheldon Flanders Financial Services gave when looking to invest a sum of money left to me by a relative in a will. You explained everything in layman’s terms and made sure everything was understood before moving on to the next step. My wife had made an appointment with the bank manager and I’m sure we would’ve ended up with a low interest ISA account with no flexibility and under his/her terms. So, I cancelled the appointment and arranged to meet up with Karen. I was very happy with her knowledge, patience and friendly manner. Always there with a smile on her face and personable nature I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Karen to family and friends on any matters regarding finance. She’s a whizz! Thanks again! Kind regards Danny Curran

Karen Sheldon Sheldon Flanders Financial Services Ltd. 25th July 2014 To whom it may concern My wife and I recently wanted to review our affairs with regards to life insurance cover to see that we at least had the right policies in place for us both. We asked Karen of Sheldon Flanders Financial Services to review our current policies we had, plus to look into a new policy for my wife to see if there was better cover available for her. As my wife’s status is more complicated with regards to ongoing health, Karen searched extensively to find a policy that would give her the right life cover and this process was not straightforward, but nevertheless she took a big amount of time to find an option that would work which ultimately gave us options to look at. Karen also spent the time to give some great advice on my life insurance policies as well. As a result of Karen’s work, we have now both been left feeling much more confident that our affairs are in good shape when it comes to protecting our futures. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen to give you peace of mind for your future, in financial and personal circumstances. Yours faithfully Andy Peat Managing Director Andy Peat Design

Mrs Karen Sheldon Sheldon Flanders Financial Services The Old Chapel 1c Welbeck Grove Allestree Derby DE22 2LS RE: Testimonial I contacted Karen Sheldon of Sheldon Flanders Financial Services to look over my pension which I had had for many years so was in desperate need of a review. I met Karen at a time and location that best suited me, and we went through my existing plan and my plans for future in regards to when I wanted to retire and how much money I would like to retire on. After this initial consultation Karen and her team went away and proceeded to obtain some quotations and information whilst keeping me updated at all times with each stage. Following this I then met with Karen again at a time and location that best suited me, and she advised what my next steps were to achieve my financial goals and to achieve financial freedom. Following this I had no hesitation to appoint her as my financial advisor and would have no hesitation in recommending Karen and her company Sheldon Flanders Financial Services to any of my family, friends and contracts.

I first met Karen at a business networking club in 2010. Karen always impressed me with her professionalism and knowledge of her financial products. In 2013, following 2 divorces, I decided to re-start my personal pension. I sat down with Karen and we discussed where I was financially and what I wanted to achieve. She produced figures on various options and I chose 2 products that have both since performed very well. I have since decided to invest considerably more and have taken Karen's recommendations. I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen in her field. She is highly knowledgeable, professional and efficient.

When my mum received a letter from her bank, asking if she was sure her investments for her pension were not mis-sold, she asked if I knew of anyone who could advise her. I immediately turned to Karen Sheldon of Sheldon Flanders Financial Services. Karen quickly made an appointment to see my mum in her own house, took the relevant documentation away with her and then following another visit again to my mum's house was able to advise her accordingly as to her options. My mum really appreciated Karen's sound advice and is much happier knowing that her investments have been reviewed professionally and she is already recommending Karen on to her WI and sewing group buddies! Thank you Karen for all your efforts at putting my mum's mind at rest and I would have no hesitation in recommending Karen if you need financial advice.
