Private bank, Brown Shipley announces the arrival of Paul Embleton and Gail Craig as Private Client Managers and Agnes Lagden as Private Client Assistant, based at its Edinburgh office in the City Centre.
They join the existing team headed by Private Client Director, Graham Auld, following the acquisition of the investment management business of Edinburgh solicitors, Lindsays, by Brown Shipley. The deal was completed last week. Last year Brown Shipley opened an office in Edinburgh and the latest acquisition has brought a further 250 clients to the office which now manages funds approaching £100m.
Graham Auld said, “We are delighted to welcome our new clients to our growing office. Edinburgh is an influential financial centre. The experienced team here understand how to really look after private clients, their financial affairs and establish long-term relationships.”
“We still retain ambitious plans to grow our Edinburgh office over the next 18 months, which provides high net worth clients with discretionary managed investment portfolios, banking services, pensions, financial planning and fund management.”
Brown Shipley is an established private bank with nearly 200 years of pedigree managing over £2.0 billion of client funds. It also has client offices in London, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham.
