European Wealth has opened a new office in Hardman Square, Manchester in a move to boost its network of local and regional offices into the North West of England.
Additionally, European Wealth has hired Nigel Gilland and David Mellett to head up its new office in Manchester.
The pair joined European Wealth from Gerrard Investment Management (Gerrard) in Manchester, a part of Barclays Wealth and Investment Management (Barclays).
Gilland previously worked at Albert E Sharp, which became part of Gerrard in 2001 and Barclays in 2004. Mellett joined Gerrard in 2006, having previously worked at Barclays since 2003.
Rod Gentry, CEO of European Wealth, said: "With European Wealth’s strong investment performance, delivering above average returns for clients, and an emphasis on delivering a personalised service through local, trusted professionals, we believe that the Manchester office will quickly become a significant element of the Group."
