London-based Vermeer Partners, part of Vermeer Investment Management, has appointed Chris Hogarth as managing director, financial planning to lead the newly-launched Vermeer Financial Planning Limited.

Previously a wealth planning director at Cazenove Capital, Hogarth has held similar positions for around 20 years with firms including UBS, Kingston Smith Financial Advisers and RSM Tenon.

“As we enter our fifth year since we were founded, this is an important step in our continued growth strategy. Chris brings an energy and entrepreneurial flair, and an absolute focus on the importance of client service. As such he complements the ethos and approach of our partnership, and we are delighted to welcome him to the firm,” Simon Melling, CEO, said.
