Kleinwort Benson has confirmed to WealthBriefing that it will be expanding its UK regional office network during 2007. Two are certain, for Leeds and Cambridge, with a third, in Belfast, under consideration. A spokesperson said that this can be seen as a second wave – there were three new offices in 2006 - following research that indicated that some clients wanted local availability with knowledge of local concerns. Kleinwort Benson currently has offices in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Guernsey, Jersey, Manchester and Newbury.
