The asset management arm of London-listed Close Brothers has boosted its intermediary sales capabilities with a new senior role.

Close Brothers Asset Management has appointed Hawksmoor's Daniel Constable as business development director to strengthen relationships with intermediaries across London and East Anglia.

Constable, previously head of business development at Hawksmoor Investment Management, joins with 20 years of experience in financial services, mostly in roles facing independent financial advisors.

“We are firmly committed to the intermediary market, and pride ourselves on the quality of the service we provide and the strength of our discretionary fund management proposition. Daniel’s appointment will be central to expanding the reach of this proposition in London and East Anglia,” said Darren Saddler, director of intermediary sales at CBAM.

Close Brothers Asset Management provides a range of financial advice, investment management and online investing services. Yesterday, the firm launched its Family Business Road Trip 2016, a tour of some of the UK’s most successful family businesses.
