Williams de Broë Names Private Client Head

London-based Williams de Broë, the private client wealth and brokerage subsidiary of investment management business Evolution Group, has appointed a new chief executive officer.

Begining early next year, Philip Howell will head up the group’s expanding private client business, reporting to Evolution Group chief executive Alex Snow. Mr Howell joins from Fortis where he was regional chief executive. Prior to that, he worked as director of strategy and corporate development for Barclays Wealth.

“I am delighted Philip is joining Williams de Broë. Philip’s breadth of experience in private banking and investment banking is invaluable and this expertise will be a great asset in pursuing the growth of Williams de Broë…Philip’s arrival also further strengthens the group’s senior management team,” said Mr Snow.

This September William de Broë reported funds under management and administration had reached a record level of £5 billion, with inflows of over £100 million in the third quarter.
