Neil loves spending time with his wife and kids, whether it’s walking their dog, cycling or having adventures at farms and play parks. The family lives in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, a great location that allows them to easily get into town, up the coast and into the countryside.
Neil enjoys keeping fit and being decidedly average at lots of sports, including running, cycling and golf. Having dabbled in surfing and kayaking, they are next on the list! He’s now retired from playing football but still takes an interest in the Toon.

jillian blythe25/10/2022Neil advises us on our financial planning with diligence and confidence and consequently makes us feel we are 'in safe hands' regarding our financial planning going forward. He is very approachable and easy to get in touch with, which is reassuring and we get regular updates on current issues and how they may affect our personal finances. We would not hesitate to recommend Neil to our friends and family if they were in need of an advisor.
Alison Bell11/10/2022I have been with Neil for many years and I am quite satisfied with the investment and the service provided.
Catherine Aldridge11/10/2022I highly recommend Neil Henderson, and in fact have actually recommended him to friends of mine who also continue to appreciate and benefit from his excellent service. As others have already mentioned in these reviews; he is professional, approachable and extremely conscientious. We have had a working relationship now for over 20 years and it is one that I value enormously as I think finding someone who not only offers such a high quality, individualised service, but also invests his time and energy into making sure everything is explained and clear, being available for advice and questions and generally being a friendly and trustworthy personality is a very rare thing these days. He has helped us with a wide variety of financial planning and complexities and we continue to see the benefit of this through the years. I echo all the positive sentiments expressed on here and wholeheartedly recommend Mission Financial Planning.

Reverend Tony Holden04/04/2022I have been with Neil (my financial advisor) for a number of years now and I can honestly say that he has a trustworthy quality about him that you don’t often get from many professionals today. He always gives sound advice and is able to explain things simply and effectively and makes me feel comfortable when I want to ask further questions or need clarification on a subject, whether that be over the phone, in a meeting or by email, and nothing is too much trouble for him. I am exceptionally happy with the service Neil provides and have every confidence in him. I would recommend Mission Financial Planning without hesitation.
