Ramsey Crookall has celebrated eight decades of service with a Market Close Ceremony at the London Stock Exchange.
The longest-established independent firm of stockbrokers and investment managers was founded on June 3 1946.
The milestone event brought together clients, colleagues, business partners and friends of the firm at the heart of one of the world’s leading financial centres.
Chairman Neal Crookall, who joined the family business in 1959 and gained experience as a “blue button” on the floor of the Exchange in 1961, said: “A firm like ours does not last 80 years without the support of loyal clients, dedicated colleagues, trusted advisers, family and friends.
“It is important on this occasion to recognise all those who have helped build Ramsey Crookall over the decades and those who continue to carry it forward today. My father would be immensely proud to see the firm recognised at the London Stock Exchange in its 80th year.”
Billions
Today, the firm serves more than 5,000 clients across over 100 jurisdictions and is responsible for £2.7 billion in assets. During 2025 alone, it executed more than 190,000 trades and dealt in 21 different currencies.
Chief Executive Officer Joanna Crookall added: “Today is not only a celebration of our history, but also of responsibility. Responsibility to our clients, our colleagues, our stakeholders, the community, and the generations to come who will carry the business forward.
“As a family business, we have always believed in the strength of long-term relationships. Family businesses have particular qualities: trust, loyalty, strong values, long-term purpose, agility and resilience. When your name is above the door, every decision carries a personal responsibility.”
