in summary
He had managed to increased his annuity by 38.89%p.a. for the rest of his life
We secured and increase of 51.46%p.a. for the rest of his life above what he had originally been offered & 10% more than he had found.
He was more than happy that his accountant had asked Petrie & Petrie to look into things for him
