UK-headquartered private bank boutique Arbuthnot Latham has appointed Richard Kay as a senior private banker attached to the media and entertainment team, with immediate effect.

Kay joins from Coutts, where he was one of the founding bankers of Coutts’ sports and entertainment team, specialising in the areas of music, television, film and theatre.

The appointment comes after a number of hires from Coutts earlier this year.

In February, Arbuthnot Latham hired ex-Coutts employee Jim Pittick as director, commercial banking, responsible for corporate and commercial clients.

This was followed in March by the appointment of Adam Patten as a senior private banker.
