Can't remember name of IFA

Hello, I've just had a meeting with an IFA. I told him of my reservations in using an IFA due to having lost a substantial amount about 15 years ago. After telling him about it, he thought I may have a claim but I have no paperwork and can't even remember the guy's name (he was a one-man company and came to my house)

Is there any website where I may find a list of local IFAs in Edinburgh as I feel I would remember his name if I saw it. I've tried Googling it but only comes up with limited names. Tried Yell.com and same thing

Thanks.

    You could try unbiased.co.uk and do a postcode search. That will show you all currently registered advisers within a radius of that postcode.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.

    Tried that but unfortunately couldn't see his name. Good chance he's not an IFA any more. I keep thinking I'm going to remember as it's constantly on the tip of my tongue!
