Brown Shipley, the UK-based private bank, has appointed Anne Brookes as
head of its Birmingham
office.

Since joining the firm at the start of 2011, Brookes has developed a
team of private banking professionals in Birmingham,
where clients include entrepreneurs and business owners, as well as a growing
portfolio of clients in the court of protection and acquired wealth space, the
firm said in a statement.

In her new role, Brookes will focus on the development of Brown
Shipley’s relationship with regional entrepreneurs and business owners,
offering them bespoke banking, investment management, pensions and financial
planning services.

In other recent developments, earlier this month, Brown Shipley hired Julian
Hardiman as its new head of private banking - based in Manchester - to oversee the firm’s investment
management, banking, financial planning and pension planning teams.
