The Fry Group, a financial advisory firm serving British expats, has appointed Stuart McCulloch as the market head of its Middle East business.

McCulloch will be responsible for growing the firm’s business in this region, which the firm considers a key market.

He most recently served as the head of operations at the Bank of Singapore in Dubai. Prior to that, he worked as the head of operations in the Middle East at Coutts.

McCulloch’s 27-year long financial services career also includes stints at Standard Life, Halifax Financial Services, and Prudential in the UK.

The Fry Group chairman and managing director Jeremy Woodley said: “A key part of our strategy is to expand into new geographies, and Stuart’s track record and experience make him ideally suited to lead our efforts in Dubai and the Middle East.

“We’re thrilled to have him join the business as we continue to build on our position as the leading provider of financial advice to British expats.”
