MIS-SOLD PENSIONS AND GRAINGERCO
Financial advice firm Foreman Financial Services Limited, which traded as Grainger Co from their Tunbridge Wells office, is now No-Longer Authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority as of late October 2017, meaning it can no-longer carry out regulated activities such as providing clients with financial advice.
Furthermore, a notice replacing the front-page of the Grainger Co website told visitors that “Foreman Financial Services LTD (trading as Grainger Co Financial Services) has permanently ceased trading”.
In FOS decision DRN9652493, a complaint against Foreman Financial Services Ltd was upheld regarding their advice to a Mr S to invest in high-risk property investments through a SIPP without properly assessing whether the investment was suitable for him.
