The deal will see Brown Shipley provide mentoring to local businesses across Yorkshire for the next three years.

Wealth management firm Brown Shipley has agreed a three year partnership deal with Connect Yorkshire, a not-for-profit organisation supporting businesses in the region.

The new deal is an extension of Brown Shipley’s existing partnership with the South Yorkshire region and will see the business provide mentoring to local businesses across Yorkshire for the next three years, the firm said in a statement.

Connect Yorkshire works with professionals to help entrepreneurs develop success, nurture emerging talent and support growth through their sector specific expertise.

Phil Harris, client director in Brown Shipley’s Leeds office, will be responsible for leading the partnership with Connect Yorkshire. According to the firm, Brown Shipley will be the sole wealth manager in the region to support members.

“Supporting local entrepreneurs is a key priority for the business and our advisors are looking forward to sharing their knowledge and expertise to help promote further growth and success in this dynamic region,” Andrew Goodchild, head of Brown Shipley’s Leeds office, said.

The firm is not the first to expand its operation across different regions of the UK. Recently, this publication reported that both Julius Baer and UBS are expanding business in Scotland.
