UK wealth manager Kleinwort Benson has appointed Gordon Scott to lead its Scottish and Northern Irish operations based in Edinburgh.

Mr Scott joins from Standard Life where for over ten years he had played a key role in the company’s increasingly important presence in the high net worth market. He specialises  in investment, pension and inheritance tax planning solutions for high net worth individuals.

"We would expect to recruit further private banking managers this year and in anticipation of this growth, we are moving our offices from St Andrew Square to prestigious offices in Charlotte Square, where we will be in the heart of the financial district of Edinburgh," said Mr Scott.

Mr Scott reports to Colin Rowe,  head of regional private wealth management, and joined last December.
