On June 3, 1946, from an office in Douglas, two lifelong friends, Ramsey Crookall & Brian McMeekin, formed what is today the Isle of Man's longest established Stockbroking and Investment companies.

This company has not only outlived them but continues to excel, winning yet another prestigious accolade, "Regional Wealth Manager of the Year for Northern England", awarded at the City of London Wealth Management Awards for the third successive year. The COLWMA awards recognises and celebrates high levels of service and quality in the UK wealth management sector and is voted for by the clients of nominated and participating firms. This year the awards attracted a record number of votes across the categories.

Joanna Crookall, CEO of Ramsey Crookall & Co Limited, commented, "I was delighted to accept this, our third COLWMA award in this category, on behalf of our dedicated team at Ramsey Crookall. This event was an especially memorable occasion while taking place during our 75th year in business. This tremendous accolade bestowed upon us by our clients demonstrates our team's ongoing commitment to the pursuit of excellence in investment management.

Ramsey Crookall today is still an independently owned company, having no ties to fund managers, banks, or third parties, thus enabling it to access a broad universe of investment assets.

This independence enables Ramsey Crookall to provide a full range of services from execution-only stockbroking to discretionary managed investment, ideal for those wishing to delegate the day-to-day management responsibility. Their cost-effective model portfolio service, Shearwater, has made it possible for anyone to invest monthly from as little as £100 per month without the necessity of investing a lump sum to start.

"We are determined to deliver on our client's investment goals and build long-term relationships managing their assets and wealth as if they were our own". Joanna Crookall.
