The firm has appointed new leadership in Yorkshire.

UBS Wealth Management has appointed Karan Sejpal as regional head for the North West and Yorkshire.

Sejpal has spent the past two years as regional head, North West at UBS Wealth Management, based in Manchester. He previously worked at Credit Suisse and Barclays Wealth. 

In his new role, Sejpal will cover both the North West and Yorkshire, splitting his time equally between the Leeds and Manchester offices. Previously responsible for Yorkshire was Andrew Aitken. He recently joined investment manager JM Finn & Co as the new head of its Yorkshire office.

Meanwhile, Jane Booth joins UBS Wealth Management’s North West office as an associate client advisor. She has a legal background, joining from Mills & Reeve.

“We continue to see increased demand for our services in the regions. Karan, with his knowledge of Yorkshire and the North West, is well placed to lead these offices and ensure we continue to deliver a first-class service for our clients,” said Jonathan Brown, head of regions at UBS Wealth Management. 

“We also welcome Jane to our North West office. We are constantly on the lookout for the best talent in the North to bolster our regional offices.”
