    I've been told I need to move my ill gotten gains from my former employer's share purchase/save schemes out of where they are currently held as I'm no longer their employee.  

    I would consider a SIPP and think I could most easily set up another account with Barclays 
    You can't move shares into a SIPP, you'd need to sell them and pay in the cash and there are only limited ways to move them into an ISA depending on the share save scheme details
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Thanks - very helpful.  The shares are no longer within the work share scheme but with the related broker so transferring to an ISA shouldn't be a problem.  Still waiting for confirmation but it appears the charge will be £4 a month so only £48 a year which is significantly less than what the dividends have been paying even in this garbage market.

    Is it still within 90 days of the shares leaving the scheme?

    No - it's nearly a year.  And I hadn't considered the £20k limit which I'm over.  OK so it's going to have to be a investment account instead.
