Quilter, the UK-based firm which is part of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, has recruited investment manager Mark Hendricks from HSBC Global Asset Management as part of its continued expansion drive in both London and the regions.

Hendricks, who is based in London in his new role, has over 15 years of experience in private client portfolio management and has held roles at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, City of London Investment Management and Grindlay’s Private Banking in addition to his most recent one at HSBC.

Hendricks’ hire is the latest in a string of appointments: earlier this month Quilter expanded its Dublin team with the appointment of Daragh Murphy, formerly of Investec, as regional sales manager in Ireland, while in February Crawford Armstrong, latterly of Scottish Widows, was recruited as regional sales manager in Scotland.

Additionally, at the end of January Chris Scott and Jason Stolte were respectively appointed as regional sales manager and investment manager in Jersey.
