Excellent Service from Darren Elmes
I would definitely recommend Darren at the Bournemouth office who has been managing my pension for the last 5 years. In that time I have received an excellent service and consider this to be value for money as I watched it grow with the expertise he provides. He is always able to assist at any time and has a vast knowledge within the industry.

Mr Keith MacKenzie needs no prompting to keep in contact regularly to talk me through my investments and is patient with my many queries. He is honest regarding fees/costs and up front when reviewing investments. This transparency is much appreciated. It is for others to judge on the fees but the service is excellent and personalised based on my attitude to risk assessment. The regular email updates are also welcolmed.

Excellent, trustworthy, professional
My family has been clients of Rathbones for many years and we have several investment accounts with them. We’ve always been very happy with the service, and with Stephen Hall in particular. Stephen is always incredibly helpful, approachable and full of clear, sensible advice about our investments. We feel very confident having him managing our portfolios and assured that our money is being well looked after and professionally managed by Rathbones.

Taking the stress
Having known Kirsty Cartwright for many years I had no hesitation in contacting her when I lost my husband two years ago. She took over the transfer of funds and came out to see me to help with guidance on savings and outgoings, setting up a spreadsheet for me. It took a lot of stress off my shoulders as I have great faith in Kirsty who I can class as a friend. Rathbones is looking after me very well and thank you for the delightful Women's Day event which was a great success.

Amos Nelson at Rathbones. 25 years later
I have been with Rathbones for 25 years (!) and am happy to highly recommend their services. More specifically Amos Nelson has managed my ISA portfolio for 15 years now. He has that perfect balance of being professional and personable. He has a great depth of knowledge but is able to explain things in terms that I can get to grips with! Over the years the performance of the portfolio has been outstanding. I hope to continue for many years to come.
