Vanessa Eve joined the newly established Yorkshire team in January, from Sanlam Private Wealth; former head of Brown Shipley’s Edinburgh office, Paul Embleton, joined in March; and this month, Poppy Fox and Jonathan Fletcher join in London from Brooks Macdonald.

CEO Andrew McGlone said: “Now, more than ever, we are seeing that clients want to speak directly to the person managing their portfolio.”

Noting "extraordinary times", he said the firm was continuing to support clients remotely but also "taking steps to position the business as strongly as we can for a return to normality, whenever that may be. Having already invested considerably in our investment team over the last 15 months, it is very pleasing to continue attracting such talented individuals."
