Benefits
Things our customers have said about us...
"I must say that 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."
Commercial Broker, West Yorkshire
'I have recently completed some work with Karen and have forwarded you the info below as she provides IFAs with compliance on the sale of GI. Her service is really cost effective and has saved another broker I know a lot of money on what he was paying to keep compliant. Below is listed what she does so if you need her services or know anyone who is currently struggling or concerned with compliance drop me a line back. I can highly recommend her services.'

Dear Karen
I am writing to say how delighted we were with the service and advice you provided to us. This has helped us to ensure that we comply with the myriad FSA rules and regulations....
Your friendly and personal service hs gone a long way to helping us understand this extremely complex set of regulations. I would be more than happy to recommend you to any company needing expert and professional help with compliance issues.
Commercial Insurance Intermediary, Leeds
I was delighted by the prompt and professional service provided by Karen Malin of the GI Consultant. She conducted a thorough compliance audit and in addition helped all the staff to understand the requirements of the FSA. She gave us simple instructions and systems to enable us to maintain the required standards for compliance.

Comment from a broking client: 'Before I met Karen I was very wary of trusting insurance brokers as I thought I would be charged an extortionate rate for something I could do myself.........................I needed insurance to cover not just my business, but also my car and property................absolutely delighted........within three hours I was covered for everything - all for less than my previous three insurances...............................Thank you Karen for your advice, the speed at which you covered me, your more than reasonable prices and helpful attitude..

If you want dedicated, hard working and an absolute whizz at networking, Karen is your woman! Her knowledge of Financial Services Compliance issues is second to none. Full of fun and extremely helpful, she always has time for others. Highly recommended to have a chat with!
Directly Authorised Mortgage Broker Client, Leeds
The GI Consultant
Where should I begin with the praise for Karen about her service? She is certainly not your usual compliance consultant. She brings a certain charm to the whole regulatory offerings by the FSA and makes it as painless as it could possibly be. Her professionalism, infectious enthusiasm, boundless energy and bottomless pit of knowledge make compliance issues a veritable party to be had when she’s around. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone seeking help with any financial regulatory requirements. She will definitely make it fun!

IFA Firm, Yorkshire
Dear Karen
For over 2 years, I spoke to many insiders in the UK mortgage business, solicitors and even the FSA direct to get clarity on several issues with regards my business. Suffice to say, no-one could provide a clear answer on anything I was requiring clarity on.
Several colleagues of mine were dealing with a major law firm in Manchester on a related issue. They offered to process a CCL on their behalf for over several thousand pounds. Upon further digging, it was discovered they were outsourcing this process to another company and marking up their services by over 500%. My colleagues found you from a recommendation with in the business and they were extremely satisfied with service, price and results. I rarely write these notes of appreciation because I genuinely believe service is a rare bonus when dealing with 'service businesses in the UK', however I am long overdue in writing this note of appreciation and thanks.
You provide an absolutely vital service and I thank-you for the support and common sense support you have given on compliance related issues.
Your new clients will probably not appreciate me saying this and I probably won't with my next bill, but basically your services could be charged at double what you currently are and it would still be a grade A service you offer.
Many thanks
