Foreman Financial Services / Graingergo Claims
We’ll have a specialist call you back for a no obligation chat about your financial claim
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.

Can You Make A Claim?
Several financial advisers and the FSCS have been paying out compensation for mis-selling investments via SIPPs and SSASs for a few years, with Spencer Churchill Claims Advice often leading the claim.
This includes advice given by Graingerco.
If you:
- Transferred your pension to a SIPP
- Made high-risk investments
- Aren’t earning over £100k per year
- Aren’t a Sophisticated Investor
Then you may have been mis-sold, and you could be able to make a claim for negligent SIPP advice.
