The major European fund platform provider Allfunds Bank has appointed Bradley Lewis to lead its UK commercial activities, as the firm expands its regional footprint.

Lewis’ hire as head of sales and relationship management UK and Ireland follows the appointment of Stephen Mohan in May this year, who joined Allfunds to head up the firm’s UK and Ireland office in London.

The move is part of the firm’s expansion plans, which will include more hires in the coming months as Allfunds looks to take on the UK market, the firm told Wealthbriefing exclusively. Without revealing further details, the firm confirmed that it is investing heavily in its London unit as it looks to add real long term value. 

“Bradley’s appointment is an important development in the strengthening of our UK team. I worked very closely with Bradley in the past and value his capabilities which will be central to the development of our business in London,” added Stephen Mohan.

Prior to Allfunds, Lewis served with CrestCo and Euroclear where he became a sales and relationship manager and chaired the Euroclear UK Retail Market Liaison Group. He also worked with Stephen Mohan at Cofunds.

Allfunds Bank is Europe’s largest business to business fund platform with more than €100 billion ($136.1 billion) of assets under administration.

In the UK the firm offers fund servicing to institutional firms and will continue to develop its multi-currency service proposition in the institutional market. Allfunds Bank has recently implemented a new business model of RDR compliant solutions and currently administers £10 billion ($16.1 billion) of assets across 20 UK clients.
