Martin Wilson is one of the good people in this market and I have great faith in his integrity.
I cannot believe that he would be party to any wrong doing.
I sincerly hope that whatever this matter is it is speedily resolved as I know just how well he is also thought of by his staff at PTFS

I have been an A/R of PTFS for around 18 months now, and have met Martin on several occasions.
He's a great guy, well liked as the other bloggers have commented, and I hope whatever the problem is gets sorted quickly as I cannot believe he would do anything to bring PT into disrepute.

Someone obviously trying to make a name for themselve. Completely ridiculous that the chairman of his own company would risk the reputation of personal touch in anyway.;

Have had the pleasure of meeting Mr Wilson on several occasions. He's always made me feel welcome and had time for a chat. A great bloke and a gentleman. I dont believe he would do any wrong. Look forward to seeing him back in charge.

Having known Martin for couple of years, he represents the "quality" that has earned respect from the people associated with Personal Touch.
Its no surprise the company has gone from strength to strength even in difficult times it still treats its brokers fairly.

I am afraid comments about Martin Wilson treating brokers fairly in recent times can only be made by someone who does not know their business well enough to realise everything has not been rosy for the last 12 months, and infact, as a broker myself, feel he has treated every single one of unfailry on more than one occasion

This is unbeleivable news.....without Martin, Personal Touch is nothing. His approach to helping brokers and working together has built his business to what it is today, I have met him a copule of times and he is a personable and professional guy, and I am confident that he will come out of this with his integrity intact.
