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 has a 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.
