Berry Asset Management, a London-based wealth management boutique, has made two top-level hires, adding Richard Fellows as director of wealth management and Steve Croucher as chief operating officer. These follow on from Jamie MacLeod’s appointment as the firm’s new chief executive last year.

Fellows, who joins in April, was latterly head of UK wealth management at Fidelity. Prior to this he was a managing director at Fisher Investments and head of the UK investment team at Credit Suisse.

Croucher, meanwhile, who is due to become a director of the firm pending FSA approval, helped launch Skandia Investment Group where he worked with MacLeod.

When MacLeod took over as CEO, the firm’s founder Jamie Berry remained in the position of executive chairman.

BAM, which is majority-owned by the Swiss private bank Bordier & Cie, manages £650 million (around $1.05 billion) on behalf of some 700 families.
