Welcoming them to the firm, David Durlacher, CEO, Julius Baer International said: “They both bring extensive experience across private banking and wealth management, and will further strengthen our offering to clients in the UK as well as play an important role in supporting our future growth.”

Wilson added: “I am excited to be joining a bank which has a pure focus on wealth management. I continue to be impressed with the people and the culture within the bank, and its determination to put clients first.”

Perry said: “I am delighted to be joining a forward-thinking organisation that places client outcomes and long-term value creation at the centre of its decision-making and culture.”
