Charles Stanley is a private client stockbrokers that offers absolutely exceptional service.
For some people, share dealing is done completely though the internet and no personal contact is required.
However, many people look to have a one on one conversation with a professional in the business, that is on the end of the phone if ever needed. They offer the usual discretionary/advisory/exectuion only dealing and sub sections of those, however, in my opinion, for the best service - leave them too it. The discretionary service means that they will essentially decide what and when to spend your money on and you will always be kept fully up to date with their dealings.
The company itself is hugely successful, run by Sir David Howard (ex lord major of London). Results by broking teams are expectional. I have not seen any downsides to the operations of the company. They are professional, always willing to advise/help on matters that may not be to do with stockbroking. (such as tax etc). The fees are reasonable and hugely competitive against other brokers.
Big yes all round!!!!
