The Porchester Group Ltd commenced trading in November 2004, bringing together a team many of whom had known each other for over fifteen years.
Our core business is independent financial advice, mortgage broking, and protection insurance to individual and corporate clients. We arrange commercial finance, and can introduce you to private equity and private banks. As well as this, through our own people and by introductions to carefully selected recommended companies, we can arrange most types of insurance, from buildings & contents to private medical cover. We provide inheritance tax planning, will & probate services, and can recommend you to UK and international accountancy firms operating in the full range of jurisdictions.
Who are we?
Heading up the firm is our Managing Director Felix De Palma. Felix has over 20 years' experience in the financial services industry and provides the strategic leadership and business development function for the firm. Felix is responsible for implementing our Treating Customers Fairly strategy. Felix aims to meet every new client when they first come to our offices. He is also a partner in PKB Underwood Lamb LLP, an international accountancy firm with offices in our former building in Mayfair.
Mortgage advice and commercial finance broking in the Porchester Group is provided by our mortgage advisor, Libby Frangiamore, who also advsies on protection.
Rula Herodotou is our client relationships manager.
Financial advice (investments, pensions and insurance) is provided by Tania Mella and Mike Blacklock.
Where are we?
Our Clerkenwell offices are in a modern block close to buses, underground & rail station and a multi-storey car park. If you are driving please remember our office is within the Congestion Charge Zone. We are usually available to see clients by appointment on Monday to Friday between 9.00 am and 5.30 pm, although, by special arrangement, existing clients may be seen outside these hours.
Who we are not and never have been!
Please note that the Porchester Group Limited has no connection whatsoever with any other financial services company with a similar name, including one which ceased trading around 20 years ago and seems to have sold rather a lot of endowment policies.
