Selling shares

I am executor for my late fathers estate.

He held some shares but I could not find the original certificates, now probate has been granted I have got copies and need to sell the shares the proceeds of which are to be deposited in the executor account.

There are 2 holdings (BP and Schroder) with an approximate value of just under £15k.

Please can anyone recommend a company to deal with this transaction.

    Google provides lots of choice. Just check who their regulator is.
