Bloxham operated across three regions with an office in the Irish Financial Service Centre in Dublin, Limerick and claimed to be Ireland's largest independent stockbroker, with most of its clients, by number, being retail investors. The firm provided both stockbroking and wealth management services to private and institutional clients.
