The AIM-listed firm has appointed Brewin Dolphin's divisional director of marketing to succeed its outgoing marketing boss, Carey Shakespeare.

London-headquartered wealth management group Brooks Macdonald has hired Brewin Dolphin's Ghislaine Perry as its new head of marketing.

Perry joins after seven years with Brewin Dolphin, where she was most recently divisional director of marketing. Based in London, he takes over the new role from Carey Shakespeare, who will be retiring after five years with Brooks Macdonald.

Prior to Brewin Dolphin, Perry held senior marketing roles at Insight Investment, Merrill Lynch Investment Managers and AXA Investment Managers. She brings over 15 years’ experience in marketing communications for the financial services sector.

“I’d like to thank Carey for the significant role he has played at Brooks Macdonald over the past five years and wish him well in his retirement,” said Brooks Macdonald's chief executive, Chris Macdonald.

“Ghislaine has an abundance of experience in our sector and I have every confidence that she will continue this excellent work as we continue our growth as a business and a brand.”
