Killik Chartered Financial Planners, the financial advisory and stockbroking firm, has appointed Sarah Lord as managing director, reports Citywire. She replaces Malcolm Cuthbert, who resigned earlier this year.

Lord joined Killik last year as a wealth planning director in Dubai. She is the founder of The Wealth Consultancy, a high net worth advisory business that she established in 2009. Her advisory business sits as an appointed representative of Killik & Co from a regulatory perspective, said the report.

In her new role she will head the four-strong team of chartered financial planners and will aim to grow Killik’s financial planning business in the UK and Dubai, splitting her time between the two locations, according to the news site.

Killik is based in London and offers advised stockbroking, financial planning and managed services.
