Arbuthnot Latham, the UK private bank, has continued its run of hires by appointing Linda Amili Clack to the new position of international banking director, head of Middle East Private Banking.  She takes up her new role immediately.

Clack has more than 30 years of experience in the private banking and family office sector, most recently as Head of the Mubarakia Limited Family Office. At that firm, she formed legal, audit, accounting and brokerage relationships; she also managed portfolios of property and investment assets.

“Linda will develop our focus on serving international clients who are either based in the UK or visiting this country.  We are experiencing increased levels of interest in the international arena,”James Fleming, chief executive at Arbuthnot Latham, said in a statement.

Earlier this week, the firm said it had appointed former Coutts senior manager Liz Bottomley to the role of head of private banking.  She filled the position left vacant at the end of 2011 by Richard Dunn.

In August, Arbuthnot Banking Group, of which Arbuthnot Latham is a part, said it is to move to new London headquarters in three years, in a move to satisfy the firm’s wish to return to operating from its own freehold premises, which it hasn’t done since 2006. It is currently located at Ropemaker Street. Its new offices will be 7-21 Wilson Street.
