UK private bank Brown Shipley now has four of the five-strong team reported in WealthBriefing in April as joining from Deutsche Tilney in place, as Gordon Campbell takes up his role as private client senior manager at the new

Birmingham office.

The final member is David Craig, who will join to lead the team later in 2008 as private client director when his notice period has expired.

A spokesman for the bank told WealthBriefing that two or three more advisory staff are likely to be recruited in the next 18 months to two years.

Brown Shipley anticipates the new

Birmingham office will have £150 million (around $300 million) funds under management within its first year, providing high net worth clients with discretionary managed investment portfolios, banking services, pensions, financial planning and fund management.

Brown Shipley has client offices in

London,

Manchester and
Leeds; WealthBriefing recently reported its new office in

Edinburgh.

The bank’s parent company is
KBL European Private Bankers which, from

Luxembourg, heads a European network of private bankers.
KBL European Private Bankers is part of the Belgium-based KBC Group.
