Nucleus, the UK IFA-owned and controlled wrap platform, has continued its recent rash of sign-ups with the addition of another six firms to its already 80-strong network.

The addition of the six new member firms - which include Assetz Wealth, James Hair and Co, Page Russell, Russell Gibson and Serenity - brings the total assets on the platform to over £2.3 billion ($3.7 billlion). However, Barry Neilson, the firm’s business development director has said that he is confident of Nucleus having 100 firms on its roster before too long due to the level of interest in joining coming from IFAs.

In other recent developments, last month Nucleus appointed Russell Down to the newly-created position of regional business development director. Down joined from Standard Life, where he most recently held the position of national account manager within the sales team.

Nucleus was founded in 2006.
