Barclays Wealth hires two for Scottish expansion

Barclays Wealth has tapped two senior investment managers from smaller rival Turcan Connell for its Edinburgh office. This brings the total number of hires in Scotland to 20 in the last seven months.

James Osborne and Cherie Hamoudi start at the Barclays Wealth investment management division in Edinburgh, reporting to John Godfrey, head of investment management.

Osborne joins after eight years at Turcan Connell, where he latterly held the position of senior portfolio manager.

Hamoudi was also a senior portfolio manager at Turcan Connell, and previously worked at Rathbones.

John Godfrey said: “Our current recruitment drive is a direct reflection of the continuing growth of the company’s investment management business in Edinburgh. The appointments are the latest demonstration of Barclays Wealth’s commitment to Edinburgh as we continue to focus on building strong client relationships and investment expertise.”

Banks have never been shy of firing staff at the merest whiff of a downturn. First the fat, then the muscle and finally the bone. In the past, cuts have been so deep that firms have found it hard to benefit when the markets rebounded, paying over the odds to restaff at speed. Such wild oscillations in staffing numbers are known as “doing a Merrill”.
