James Gallimore

Spear’s Review

James Gallimore is the founder and chair of the Atlantic Swiss group of companies, which provide individuals and businesses in the media and entertainment industry – including many household names – with financial advisory and family office services.

Gallimore says: ‘In the group we have the wealth management side looking after their money; Black Frame, which does all the bookkeeping and concierge, private jets and staff; AS Financial, which looks after property – we’re in the top 1 per cent of mortgage brokers in the UK; then we have Atlantic Swiss, which does deals on behalf of the clients outside their day-to-day work.’ Legal advice is diverted to lawyers in the most appropriate firms.

Gallimore now has an extremely select group of clients, but he works closely with new acquisitions and enjoys biannual meetings with a much wider group of individuals to ensure their continuing confidence in the firm.
