Ian Sackfield, CEO of Brown Shipley, said: "We had a very strong and positive 2013 and with the appointment of Hugh as our new head of private banking, we will continue our focus on further growth and the whole management team look forward to another successful year."
In addition, Andrew Curran has joined the bank’s board of directors in his role as CFO, while Jim Willens re-joins as a non-executive director. These moves follow the stepping down of both Robert Kitchen and Bob Smoker from the board due to a recent corporate governance review.
Independent chairman of the Brown Shipley board, Alan Dickinson, said: "These are exciting times for the wealth management industry and for Brown Shipley in particular. I know that Robert Kitchen and Bob Smoker will continue to be highly valuable members of the Brown Shipley management team and am sure that the new additions to the board announced today will strengthen that team considerably as we look to take advantage of the many opportunities arising from the changes taking place in the industry as a whole."
