The UK asset management firm made the regional hire from Gemini Wealth Management.

Miton Group has appointed Chris Hill as regional sales manager for the Midlands.

Hill was previously an investment manager at Gemini Wealth Management. Before that, he was a research analyst with EFG Harris Allday. He has also worked at Deutsche Bank and Alexander Hall Associates.

Replacing Mark Wright, who has left the firm, Hill will join in June. He will report to Neil Bridge, Miton Group's head of sales.

“We are committed to delivering a high quality service to professional investors across the country. Chris has a fund selection background and he knows what clients are looking for, which will be a great asset for us. This should be a significant benefit for Miton’s Midlands clients,” said Bridge.

The appointment follows that of Andrew Jackson who will also join in June to oversee the CF Miton UK Value Opportunities Fund.
