Rathbones - Glasgow Reviews 60

Our family has been a client of Rathbones Glasgow for well over ten years and have always felt well advised and supported with decisions. Angela Smith, our advisor, is always extremely helpful and happy to explain (and re-explain in another way if necessary) strategies, products and anything we are not sure of. Investments have done well and we feel that we’re in a safe pair of hands.

I have been a client of Rathbones (previously Speirs & Jeffrey) for many years and have always found my affairs being carried out in a highly professional and efficient manner currently by Angela Smith and her able team.
I would have no hesitation in recommending them

Very informative and clear communication. Excellent understanding of my situation and requirements. Given sensible, experienced advice and we have had very good results.

I was a Legacy Customer from Spiers and Jeffrey in Glasgow, and over the period Rathbones have managed my Affairs to my satisfaction. They have been efficient and informative, and my Investment Director Cameron Pollock has managed the Portfolios with the Professionalism that one would expect. Cameron is very prompt to answer and advise on any questions that I may have. The Customer on line Portal is also informative and user friendly.

I have been a client of Rathbones, Glasgow (previously Spiers and Jeffrey) for some twenty years. The service I've received in the active management of my investment portfolio has consistently been nothing short of outstanding. It is a source of great reassurance to have Cameron Pollock supporting me with his highly professional, timely, warmly delivered personal support.
I commend Rathbones to anyone looking for trustworthy, expert management of their investment portfolio.

Responding on behalf of fellow Trustees of a long established and Glasgow based charity to commend the diligent handling by Brian Quigley over many years of the charity's investment portfolio along with his wise, reactive advice.

We have been clients of Rathbones Glasgow for some time. Over the years we have been looked after very well with our investments under regular and careful review. This is especially important given the very turbulent times we currently live in. Cameron Pollock and his team should be congratulated by the way they have cared for our funds - the service we have received has been exemplary. We would recommend the service to friends and family.

Three generations of our family have entrusted our investments to Spiers & Jeffrey and, following their successful merger in 2018, to Rathbones. Throughout this time, Cameron Pollock and his team in Glasgow have managed our portfolio with exceptional professionalism and care. Their guidance has consistently inspired confidence, and we have nothing but the highest praise for the service they provide.

We are delighted to recommend Cameron and his team to anyone seeking high‑quality investment management and advice.

I would highly recommend Rathbones Glasgow office. Andrew Gaffney is excellent in every way and is a pleasure to work with. We are truly delighted with the personalised approach and professionalism from Andrew. He inspires total confidence and trust and is always readily available, friendly and approachable. Communication is always clear and he keeps in touch regularly with updates and to highlight forthcoming webinars etc.

I have been a client of the Glasgow office having been recommended by my then accountant sometime before it became part of Rathbones. I have always felt that my investments have been responsibly managed and I feel that I receive a high level of personal care and attention from Cameron Pollock. Thank you

I have had a long-standing relationship with the team in the Glasgow office, going back over 30 years to when my parents first entrusted their investments to Spiers & Jeffrey, and continuing through the transition to Rathbones.

Throughout that time, I have personally benefited from the guidance and support of Graeme Dickie, Cameron Pollock and Reece Duncan. Their advice has consistently been clear, considered and, importantly, well judged—particularly during periods of global uncertainty and market turbulence, Brexit, covid, wars et!!!. Looking back, the actions they recommended during those more challenging times have proven to be the right ones, which has given me a great deal of confidence in their expertise.

However, is not just their professionalism but their personal approach. They take the time to listen, explain, and reassure—especially during those moments when I read too much nonsense and have 'doom' scenarios and major market concerns. That combination of technical knowledge and genuine client care is invaluable.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the Glasgow team to anyone looking for trusted, long-term investment advice delivered with both professionalism and a personal touch.

We have been with Rathbones for about twenty years. Cameron Pollock and his associates look after our interests splendidly. We'd recommend the firm to anyone looking for a trusted company, guaranteed to give excellent advice and to take great care of your assets.

I have been a long-standing client for many years, and my experience with Gordon Winship has always been excellent.

What I value most is the personal approach Gordon and his colleagues take. They really take the time to understand my individual needs, checking in regularly and adapting their advice as my circumstances change.

Communication is clear and consistent, and any questions I’ve had are answered quickly and thoroughly.

I’m exceptionally impressed with the Rathbones team who have managed my investments for a number of years now. The returns I’ve enjoyed have been consistently well above average and I have real confidence that my investments are being efficiently and effectively managed. In particular, Angus Kerr and Julie Smith have given me excellent service along with Philip Baker in London.

Rathbones provide financial advice and services from a well-established base. In Scotland, many clients were adopted from the Speirs and Jeffrey stockbroker. As many of the positive customer reviews on this site agree, such generational connections and a high degree of customer satisfaction is sustained. In large part this reflects the highly qualified staff, the company values and their commitment to clients. This would certainly include Stephanie Graham in Glasgow serving our family with skill and understanding over a decade.
Generational connections and the needs of customers are evolving. Rathbones offers a very broad range of services and investment is just one dimension. Their web provision has improved in many ways and presentations are made by senior executives to communicate relevant economic and financial views on line.
At a time where market returns are volatile and sometimes flat, customers may be tempted to use less costly self-service investment providers. Thus there is a need from a local base to be certain that Rathbones can bridge the gap between local / relevant and corporate and strategic. Trustpilot reviews may correctly provide acknowledgement to staff in a city office. However, customer intelligence across a range of scales and geographies will be required to maintain the customer base and satisfaction levels given strong market competition.

Gordon Winship and his team at Rathbones, Glasgow are very good. They have been looking me for many years. I could not be in better hands. He has successfully advised me on numerous occasions about investments based on my objectives (income, growth or both). I always appreciate his thoughts on what to buy, what to avoid buying and when to sell in order to maintain a portfolio that works for me. I have no hesitation in saying get in touch with him.

For the many years I have been with Rathbones and Stephanie Graham and her team I have always been treated with respect, kindness, courtesy and I have always been listened to.

I have been a client with Rathbones since the successful merger with Spiers and Jeffrey who I had used for many years beforehand. Angela Smith from the Glasgow office manages my investment portfolio. I find Angela extremely knowledgable and I trust her expertise and decisions without question. I am kept updated on all developments and any questions I have are answered very promptly and explained in an easy to understand manner. I will be a client for many more years and would highly recommend Rathbones

We have been clients of Rathbones since Spiers & Jeffrey joined with them and are very pleased with the service they provide. James and Amy are a great team and extremely knowledgeable and professional. No question is too silly and they always get back to us very promptly. They are easy to deal with and their advice is always top notch. They are both very personable and easy to talk to. There is never a problem to meet up with them whether it be Edinburgh or Glasgow. We are happy to have James and Amy look after our portfolio and they always provide alternatives and give great advice.
Would highly recommend them to look after your investments.

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.
