“Heather Hopkins was instrumental in analysing and consolidating my personal portfolio. What impressed me about Heather is her knowledge of products and the market, her attention to detail and her ability to explain at a level which I could understand. Heather continuously coaches me on financial investments for my long-term goals.”

– Laura N, Business Development Manager

“Heather, I have found that dealing with you, above many other financial advisers, has been a pleasure. You explain things well, you assist me on a realistic level in terms of what I need versus what you need and I am always kept informed of any new or interesting developments in the industry. I also find it refreshing that you know my situation and whilst you do stay in touch, you are not calling me incessantly. It has been great.”

– Bridget L, Advertising Account Director

“I have known Heather for many years and have implicit trust in her knowledge, management and advice with regards to my financial portfolio. Heather is consistently hard-working and professional and her knowledge and attention to detail make all the difference. I really appreciate that she challenges conventional thinking and looks beyond the obvious in making recommendations for my long-term financial planning.”

– Thane H, Strategist

“I have found Heather’s service to be both excellent and professional. I would recommend her to anyone, in fact I already have. They too have found the experience efficient and expertly done. Well done Heather and thank you for caring so much.”

– Glynnis B, Administration Manager

After being told by two previous advisers that I would be wasting my time submitting a claim, I never expected to receive a payout nearly 2 years later. However, my fortunate meeting with Heather Hopkins has made the seemingly impossible possible. Upon hearing my story, she immediately contacted the head of claims at Liberty Life and confirmed that I did in fact have a valid claim. Heather is a people’s person, who is not just providing financial advice, but also going the extra mile to provide real customer service.

– Kobus N, Buyer

“Heather, thank you so much for always being so prompt when we need your assistance and advice. We do appreciate your fine advice at all times – the best part is that we know that you are only a phone call away. You are indeed an asset to your clients!”

– Premla C, Retiree

“Heather, you have given me not only excellent advice through the years but also peace of mind.  As a soon-to –be-retiree, I am naturally rather petrified to face the years ahead financially and your calm advice and willingness to listen have made the future somewhat less daunting.  Thank you.  Thank you too, for the informative and reassuring newsletters – I often pass them on to my friends who also find them most useful.”

– Jenny W, Retiree

“Heather has been my financial advisor for the past 15 months and I must say that she is truly a pleasure to work with. Her commitment to me as a client has exceeded all expectation. She provides well thought of advice that is specific to my situation and together we are able to map a way forward to reach my financial goals. The monthly newsletters are a great way to keep in touch with her clients and they keep me informed on things which I otherwise would not have known about. She is flexible enough to fit into my schedule when I need to meet with her. I recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional financial advisor.”

– Kgomotso M, Change Management Consultant

“I was one of those professional people who never really gave my own financial health the attention that it deserved until I was introduced to Heather. The advice that I received was both insightful and invaluable and consulting her has been one of the best decisions that I’ve made. Heather’s analytical mind exposed important areas that needed specialist attention. She has a talent for understanding people and finding practical solutions that work.  Her enormous ability and expert knowledge ensured that I received the most comprehensive advice that I could ever have hoped for. She truly is a gifted and brilliant adviser, – quite simply, the best financial planner that I have ever had the pleasure of working with!”

– Kevin H, Advocate

“Heather has been extremely helpful in putting together a portfolio for me. Not only is she friendly and patient with me as I struggle to understand the various options available to me, she is also knowledgeable, and able to answer the tougher questions put to her by my Financial Manager.  She is always well prepared for our meetings, providing information that indicates that she has my best interests at heart.”

– Lynne D, HR Strategy Consultant

“I have been engaging with Heather for the past 4 years.  Heather has provided myself and my family with sound financial advice and planning.  Based on the advice received from Heather, I was able to make the right investment choices for my family.  Heather is a friendly, approachable financial consultant and is focused on providing financial advice rather than writing policies.  I am a satisfied customer of Blink Consulting.”

– Avinesh H, IT Specialist

“From the darkness comes light! That is how I felt when I met Heather. My personal finances had been neglected for years and were in a complete disarray. The longer I left it, the more loathsome I became to deal with the situation, for fear that the mountain would be a mammoth task to climb. Heather demystified the world of personal finances, with her expert advice and insight into the industry, her professional approach, and the determination and efficiency to take my situation and turn it around into that which can only be described as a polar comparison. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Heather to anyone that will listen. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. I am extremely at ease with my finances and the future. Thank you so much, Heather!”

– Sven P, Programme Manager

“Hiermee wil ek graag my hartlike dank uitspreek aan Heather Hopkins vir die vriendelike and uitstekende diens wat sy aan ons gelewer het ten opsigte van finansiele beplanning produkte vir ons besigheid asook produkte vir ons persoonlik. Al is haar kantoor in Johannesburg en ons in Pretoria, was sy inderdaad altyd stiptelik vir al ons afsprake en ook het sy alle produkte effektief en sorgvuldig vir ons uiteengesit en aan ons verduidelik.   Die feit dat sy alle omstandighede in ag geneem het, ook die bekostigbaarheid van die verskeie polis opsies, het ons baie gehelp en gerus gestel in die belangrike besluite ten opsigte van die toekoms van ons besigheid en persoonlik. Heather het waarlik uit haar pad gegaan, selfs vir ons gereel van opstel van ons testamente.  Nou kan ons almal met ‘n geruste hart gaan slap, wetende dat al ons sake in plek is.  Ek weet sommer dat Heather vanselfsprekend op ‘n jaarlikse basis met ons kontak sal maak om te verseker dat ons sake op hoogte bly.  Ons sal Heather se goeie diens vir ieder en elk wat ons paadjie kruis, aanbeveel.”

– Astrid, Callie and Edwin N, business owners and entrepreneurs

“Heather’s expertise includes comprehensive financial needs analyses, attention to detail, diligence, commitment and a positive energy. In an industry notorious for poor client retention, she focuses on providing excellent customer service. Heather runs a professional one-stop financial planning practice, and has been successful in establishing a business that focuses on the attraction and retention of high net worth clients. For all the above-mentioned reasons I chose Heather to be my own Financial Adviser. She is amazing and acts with so much integrity with regard to ensuring that all proposals are in my best interest. I respect and appreciate her knowledge, skill, after-service initiatives and loyalty towards the industry. She continually strives to stay up to date and relevant and has successfully completed her National Certificate in Wealth Management and her Postgraduate qualification in Financial Planning.”

– Alta J, Manager at Liberty Life

“I have been dealing with Heather Hopkins for a number of years now and during that time I have developed a profound respect for her and the quality of financial advice she provides. Heather is empathetic, she keeps her word, is ethical and, as a qualified Certified Financial Planner, has an excellent knowledge and understanding of all aspects of financial planning, including investments, life insurance, employee benefits, healthcare and estate planning. She is also a person of great integrity and will not sell a product if she does not believe it is in the best interest of her client. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and truly professional financial advisor.”

– Michael D, Retiree

“I can do nothing but sing Heather’s praises.  She is efficient and incredibly knowledgeable. Heather is able to explain complicated financial principles to someone who has little knowledge of such things.  She put me at ease immediately and always seems to have time to chat about queries or concerns.  I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Heather Hopkins and Blink Financial Planning.”
