Any thoughts on who you've used? Have googled but curious if anyone here has any recommendations?

Won't be a weekly occurrence, likely once a month maximum.

Appreciate the advice.

Are you requesting advice on the mechanics of investing rather than a fund or stock recommendation?

If so pretty much all platform providers out there will allow you to buy US stocks. But You'll need to sign a couple of forms in addition to a general application. FATCA & W8Ben forms for tax and likely some sort of disclaimer to say you know what you're doing.

US Stocks can be bought in an investment account (GIA) but will be subject to taxation or via an self select ISA (Tax free) or SIPP (tax on income)

All decent providers will offer all 3 options. Someone Like Hargreaves Lansdown are expensive but offer good advice support and a stable platform. Soemone like Youinvest from AJ Bell offer a cheaper platform but the support & research is not as good.
