The History of James Sharp
The history of James Sharp is a long and illustrious one. The firm was founded in 1885 by Mr Sharp. He was a banker in Bury, Lancashire who realised that the future was providing investment services rather than just banking services.
At the time, the Bury area was extremely affluent. Many of the large Northern based industries had been started up during the late 1860s and 1870s, so there was a good customer base for the services he was offering. Many of these large businesses needed cash to grow their business and a lot of the owners wanted to invest their personal money as well. James Sharp’s trusted position in the banking industry and personal relationship with many of these people meant he was perfectly placed to offer these services. His service was an immediate success, and the company grew quickly. Some of the firm’s original customers’ families still invest with them today, which is testament to just how good their service is.
James Sharp Today
Today, James Sharp is still a thriving business with a good reputation. However, as you would expect, its customer base is much broader. They now provide financial advice to international customers as well as those based in the UK. Many of their customers are very well off, but they also have many less wealthy customers, so the kind of customer they serve has changed radically too.
However, the firm still advices their customers to make long-term, rather than just short-term investments. They carefully research all investment opportunities, so have a good track record. The James Sharp team prides itself on having helped thousands of people to achieve a secure financial future for themselves and their families.
