wife and I have spent three years arguing our case against stockbroker
WH Ireland. The broker acted for us for many years but invested in
inappropriate shares in companies that mostly went bankrupt.
We
have lost more than £500,000. The Financial Ombudsman Service found in
our favour and we were awarded the maximum £150,000 plus interest, but
with the recommendation that the broker returns us to the position we
would have been in if it had not invested so recklessly.
