Testimonials
Over the past few years Martin has for me removed the doubt which exists in my mind when dealing with the stringent requirements of the F S A. Although we all accept that regulation is necessary it can also waste a large amount of our valuable time. I have found that Martin has removed a lot of the uncertainty in my mind thereby saving time and allowing me to concentrate on promoting my business. If at any time I have needed quick confirmation on any aspect of regulation Martin has always quickly been available by telephone or E-mail. I most certainly will continue to use his services.

I am writing to thank you for the excellent services you provided during our recent compliance audit. As a small consultancy , it is difficult to keep up with the constant evolution of compliance requirements we face under the realms of the FSA and whilst taking our compliance obligations seriously, there is always the niggling thought at the back of your mind that we may have, albeit innocently, missed something.
Although my staff and myself were somewhat nervous of our first ever ’FSA type’ audit we were unanimous that a day spent with you was worthwhile. Whilst being relaxed and non-challenging, it was most certainly informative, focused and, most importantly, reassuring.
Although at first I was a little sceptical of dealing with consultancy that was geographically a great distance form my own location, distance has not proved a problem, after service ahs been superb and costs have been more than reasonable.
In short you have become and valued member

Martin Fawcett of DM Associates has advised me for over 4 years now. He is professional, confidential and knowledgeable. I would not consider Direct Authorisation without Martin to support and guide. Thanks for all your help and valued support.

Martin’s advice is always fair, balanced and practical with genuine consideration for our business needs making compliance as painless as possible. The regulatory updates provided are topical and relevant and I feel confident with him on board we are always up to speed in what can be a maze of rules and regulations; highly recommended.

I have always found Martin to be a very approachable and motivational compliance contact which is really refreshing to other compliance personnel that I have worked with in the past. This has been of benefit to me especially over the past months in a very difficult mortgage market where nothing is too much trouble and being able to get easy contact is very important to me and any financial services company whatever the size.
Martin also understands the needs that each firm has different operational controls and this again has been a benefit to me with a tailored package to suit my own circumstances.
I would therefore not hesitate in recommending Douglas Martin Associates to other advisors and office personnel.

I find many consultants deliver very little for their daily rate and are not worth the money they charge, until now. For once I feel that I have received fantastic value for money and well worth the investment....it was quite painless.
