During his 30-year career, he has held roles including vice chairman and group CEO of Sanlam Private Investments UK, group CEO of Ansbacher Group and managing director, retail fund administration at Bank of New York.

“I am confident that the business will benefit hugely from his considerable experience as we develop and implement our long term growth strategy,” said Bruce Kesterton, CEO of Thomas Miller.
