Phil Maher has been looking after my affairs for 15 years and has been joined more recently by Mim and Ahmed. I am highly satisfied by the results they have obtained. I have had several meetings with them over the years which have always been to the point and carried out in a professional but friendly way with frequent good humour on all sides. Constant information and speedy replies to queries is a feature their dealings with me. Recently a transfer of complex shareholdings to Rathbones was conducted with much patience by them.
