UK private bank has made a number of hires. The firm has appointed Dean Moore as head of wealth planning, Nick Ellis-Calcott as business transformation director, Nick Bailey as managing director of business development, Andy Rushmer as head of information and cyber security, a newly-created role, and Colin MacKenzie as a director of investment management at its London office.

Moore has 25 years’ experience in the wealth industry. He has held a number of senior roles at Barclays Wealth, Hargreaves Lansdown, HSBC and most recently Coutts & Co, where he was executive director in the private office.

Ellis-Calcott has over 15 years’ experience in the financial industry. He was most recently chief technology director for Shawbrook Bank.

Bailey has over 30 years’ experience in the financial industry. He joins from Elixorr Partners, where he led a variety of services for its clients across the UK, South Africa and the US.

Rushmer joins Arbuthnot Latham from Shawbrook Bank, where he helped deliver the bank’s IT architecture, IT security, cyber strategy and risk appetite framework as head of IT.

MacKenzie has over 30 years’ investment experience. He was previously at Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse Private Banking and Coutts, where he was formerly an executive director and joint head of tailored portfolio services.

This publication has contacted the firm to find out whom the new hires have replaced, and will update in due course.

The firm is not the only financial institution looking to expand in the UK, as WealthBriefing has reported that both UBS and Julius Baer will expand their Scotland segments.

In December, this publication interviewed Arbuthnot Latham’s director and head of media and entertainment, Richard Kay, who said it is aiming for clients outside of the English Premier League.

Arbuthnot Latham, the London-based private bank, has regional offices in Manchester, Bristol and Exeter and an international branch in Dubai.
