About Us

Small can be beautiful

Although we deliberately remain a small, family owned business, we only invest our clients money into institutions that we have carefully researched and completed due diligence on. These tend to be large and always financially sound companies. You can be sure therefore that your money is being run professionally and meets UK financial regulations.

 

However, as a small Company our clients also benefit from a very personal service from people who have been here for a long time and know our clients well. With large banks and institutions having a regular turnover of staff and internal re-organisations, our continuity and personal service is a refreshing change in an increasingly automated and impersonal world.

    Just to say regarding Christopher Charles Financial Services, as I find the area of investment somewhat daunting, their hands-on, friendly and patient approach with good advice is appreciated.

    The service I have received from this company over several years now has been of a high standard, thorough and caring.

The staff are always helpful and queries are answered as quickly as possible.
