What our clients say
Chris and now Ross have always been there when I needed them. They’re very helpful… that helps me sleep at night.
I have worked with Chris for over 15 years. In that time, he has transformed a set of haphazard investments into a coherent retirement plan. Thank you!
Face-to-face meetings are always homely in atmosphere. It's been a pleasure to build a relationship with Chris, Ross and all the team.
Chris has provided professional and knowledgeable financial advice and helped us achieve our retirement goals.
Chris and Ross are true professionals and are fantastic to deal with. We feel happy and safe to have our investments in their hands.
Over the last ten years, Chris and the team have consistently provided a professional, approachable and knowledgeable service and I have been very satisfied with their advice and guidance.
I was a little apprehensive before my first visit, but was immediately put at ease by Chris and Ross. They listened to my needs and advised me of the best places to put my money.
Chris, Ross and his team are very professional in what they do. They always make sufficient time for us and are available whenever we make a request.
We’ve been with Chris for nearly 20 years and don’t hesitate to contact him if we have a query. He is so approachable, and it’s good to see Ross of the same ilk following him.

Professionally
Chris stepped down as Managing Director on 1st May 2020, although he remains a Director and will very much be a part of the business.
Chris’s career in Financial Services started in 1977 and he launched Taylor & Taylor in July 1993. Our firm has been on Chorley New Road ever since.
As a Director, Chris will maintain his presence at Taylor & Taylor; attending client meetings, working on strategic planning with Ross and developing our relationships with our clients, staff and suppliers.
Personally
Chris has been married to Penny for 40 years. They have two sons, Richard and Ross. Chris has lived in Bolton all his life and went to Bolton School from 1965 to 1973.
He is a keen sportsman who stopped playing football in his early 40s and now plays golf at Bolton Golf Club. Chris is also a Bolton Wanderers season ticket holder and watches them play home and away, whenever possible.
Outside work, family life and his love of sports, Chris loves dining out, walking Rodney (Ross’ cockapoo puppy) and enjoying a pint with friends.
