Kleinwort Benson, the UK private bank, has appointed Thomas Cummins as director of its private wealth management business to assist private clients and their advisors in the Channel Islands, exploiting east African business opportunities specifically. The firm said Cummins already has experience in serving clients in the Channel Islands and east Africa, having covered those regions as a relationship manager at Deutsche Bank previously. Cummins started his career in finance in Guernsey, where he acquired over 16 years of experience working for various high-profile financial institutions, before moving to Jersey in 2003. Last month, the private bank announced that it was restructuring its fund administration business in an operation which would see a "number of roles" throughout Jersey and Guernsey redeployed to its Cape Town office.
