The four new hires specialise in a range of advisory roles.

Fairstone Financial Management, a UK-based financial planning firm, has appointed four new advisors to its Northern Ireland team based in Lisburn, Belfast.

Karen Black, Seainin Campbell, Raymond Hart and Paul McCord all join from Ulster Bank.

Black has more than 20 years’ experience in the financial services industry and specialises in advising clients on a range of issues ranging from protection, investments and inheritance tax planning to personal and corporate pensions.

Campbell spent more than a decade with Ulster Bank. He advises clients on their saving and investment strategies, as well as pension, IHT and retirement planning.

Hart was with Ulster for more than 20 years prior to joining Fairstone and, together with McCord, will advise clients on investments, pensions, IHT, protection and corporate financial planning issues.

This publication is awaiting confirmation as to whether the four are taking on newly-created roles or replacing others and will update accordingly.
