Andrew Davies, partner, and head of regions at LGT Wealth Management stated: “Long-term investment in our regional offices is essential for sustainable growth. It not only allows us to attract and retain top talent, but it enables us to build robust local networks and infrastructure. By strengthening our presence across the regions, we can better serve our clients located outside London, deepen our understanding of local markets and foster closer relationships with clients in these regions. Simon, Fahim and Michael bring a wealth of client experience to our rapidly growing Manchester office.”
Ben Snee, CEO of LGT Wealth Management added: “We are committed to the continued development of our regional teams across the UK, which we believe will be critical to our growth as we continue to deliver exceptional value to our clients. The opening of our Manchester office was an important part of that strategy and we’re delighted to see that team grow.”
