Neptune Investment Management has appointed Nick Webb as intermediary sales manager for its Central England and East Anglia client base.

Webb joins from Skandia (which is one of Neptune’s key strategic partner clients), where he was a sales manager for 13 years, responsible for managing teams in East Anglia, London and the Midlands.

Reporting to Adam Hughes, Neptune’s head of UK wholesale, Webb will focus on the firm’s regional areas, completing a five-strong intermediary sales team which covers the whole of the UK, and is supported by three additional London-based staff. The intermediaries team, as well as the four-man strategic partner team is led by Andy Larkin.

In other recent developments, earlier this month Neptune confirmed the launch of four new funds, two focusing on Russia and frontier emerging markets and two income-focused vehicles.
