EFG Harris Allday Names New Managing Director

There's change at the top of a business that in June obtained CISI Chartered Firm™ status.

EFG Harris Allday, a division of EFG Private Bank Ltd, has appointed former FNZ senior figure Edward James (main picture) as new managing director, subject to regulatory clearance. He is taking over from Richard Killingbeck (pictured below), who has decided to step down after a five-year stint to pursue other opportunities.

James is responsible for leading and expanding EFG Harris Allday’s business in the Midlands region of the UK.

Prior to joining EFG, James most recently served as CEO of FNZ Asset Management Infrastructure. Prior to that, he served in various senior roles at Octopus Investments, Euroclear and Gerrard Asset Management. In 2011 James also founded EJ Associates, a financial consultancy. Edward is now returning to the company, having started his career at Harris Allday Lea & Brooks as a graduate in 1995.

In June this year the firm said it had achieved CISI Chartered Firm™ status. The business taps into the resources of Zurich-listed EFG International.
