I have been a client of Rathbones for several years.

I've been a client of Rathbones for a number of years and have always been very happy with the service for my family and myself. I feel there is an honesty with the service. In particular my Financial Advisor Stephen Hall from the Glasgow office gives me excellent help without patronising me in any way. If I require to speak to him and he's busy he comes back to me very quickly. Any other members of staff I've spoken with too have always been helpful. I have already recommended two friends to the company and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Rathbones Glasgow

We originally used S&J in Glasgow for our investments, they were then taken over by Rathbones which initially we were a little apprehensive about . We have been extremely happy with how Angela Smith has handled our portfolio and us! She is very personable and helps us to feel confident that she is acting in our best interest.
We would certainly recommend Rathbones in Glasgow

Good Communication and Advice

We were clients of S&J and it's good to see the same good service under the Rathbones name but with greater possibilities for investment research. Adam Drummond and Ellie Marshall are very approachable, communicate well and are happy to meet us to discuss strategy. We feel they have a good understanding of our requirements and those of our family.

Looking forward to the future with confidence

We were long-standing clients of Speirs & Jeffrey and were delighted to find that the excellent service they provided has continued and developed after the firm joined with Rathbones.
Alistair Crichton is an excellent adviser and he knows precisely what standards S&J clients expect. He always meets these standards. These are the high standards of service which Rathbones demand for clients. Alistair has been competent, careful and considered in all the advice he has given us over several years. He keeps himself fully abreast of what is happening in the ever more complicated and fast moving world of finance. As a result our portfolios have grown pleasingly. Moreover, he is a thoroughly good and pleasant man to deal with and never fails to keep in touch.So we look forward to the future with confidence.

Prior to its merger with Rathbones

Prior to its merger with Rathbones, we were with S and J for many years and then as now Mark was our friendly and professional contact. We have really benefited from Mark’s careful and analytical investment advice over the years and it is good to feel relaxed and positive, knowing that our affairs are in capable hands.

Great service

Angus Kerr has looked after my affairs through Rathbones for years and I can always depend on his support and advice.
Now I am starting a family, I feel reassured to be with Rathbones. My needs are looked after on a personal level within a highly professional and efficient system and I'm happy with the performance of my portfolio.
It's exactly what I need.

Exceptional family service

My mother was with S&J for many years and got exceptional service from Mark. I have been very pleased to continue the relationship after the merger with Rathbones. Mark keeps in touch regularly to ensure I am up to speed with my portfolio. When he is away on leave Ben is always on hand to answer any questions. A newer aspect I have experienced is invitations to hospitality events where it is lovely to chat to Mark and Ben in an informal setting.

In safe hands

Gordon Winship has been my stockbroker for many years prior to becoming one of the Investment Directors at Rathbones in Glasgow. I am extremely grateful to Gordon for his support, friendship and to the highly professional advice he gives me.
I would recommend Rathbones as a firm of Stockbrokers as they offer an extensive range of services and are very Client focused. This was evident last night at their reception on The Royal Yacht Britannia. Thank you.

Professional advice with a personal touch

As someone who struggles with the concept of financial planning I am happy to use Rathbones and to have the benefit of Fraser Craig's advice. He is aware of my personal goals and can advise me accordingly.

Meeting in person

We very much enjoyed meeting with Fraser Craig from Rathbones as it is good to have our investments explained in person. This also gives us the opportunity to ask specific questions from the person who has a deep understanding of the industry. We have been extremely satisfied with the service provided by Fraser at Rathbones.

Uber pros with an invaluable personal touch

We have been with Angus Kerr and Rathbones Glasgow since its inception .We moved from another major investment house because we felt in a way they had lost that personal touch that was so important to us .But that has come in spades with the Rathbones Glasgow team.We know they have a large client base but you are made to feel that you are the only client in the world and that is a hard thing to pull off but the Glasgow team do it in spades. We have recommended the team unreservedly to so many friends and contacts that we have lost count! So thank you to Angus Kerr,Julie Smith and the entire team .

We managed to get a parking place at the Museum and really enjoyed the hospitality laid on by Brian Q, our contact at Rathbones. The Museum was highly interesting, and we secured a tour guide who took us around some of the many artworks and explained a lot about each as we went around. After our guided tour we did a bit of further exploring and found many amazing exhibits and intriguing items which has encouraged us to try and make another visit when in Glasgow!
