The Share Centre Best Stockbroker for Costs

Retail stockbroker, The Share Centre, won the award for Best Stockbroker for Costs last week (Thursday 26 November) at the Financial Times and Investors Chronicle Investment 2009 Awards, held at Park Lane Hotel, London.

The award, which was voted for by readers of the Financial Times and Investors Chronicle, aims to identify the broker who offers the best share dealing service based on value for money.

Customers of The Share Centre can invest in a multitude of investments from as little as £7.50. Those that register for The Share Centre's advice service also have access to plain-speaking experts for no additional charge.

Commenting on The Share Centre's success and the voting process, Jonathan Eley, editor of Investors Chronicle, said: "Cost is a key factor for investors when choosing a stockbroker and The Share Centre had to see off some pretty stiff competition to win this award. A record number of Investors Chronicle and Financial Times readers responded to our survey this year, so it's a real vote of confidence in the company."

On accepting the Award, Guy Knight, group sales and marketing director at The Share Centre, said: "Operating as we do in a price competitive industry, we are delighted to receive recognition for our fair value service from readers of the Financial Times and Investors Chronicle.  Discerning investors know that you get what you pay for and have recognised The Share Centre's balance of cost, reliability and quality of the service."

This is the second reader-voted award The Share Centre has won this year, having won Shares Magazine's Award for Best Small Cap Broker earlier this month.
