Brown Shipley launches new Edinburgh office
Brown Shipley, the UK private bank, is making its debut in Edinburgh after hiring a team of two from Deutsche Tilney as part of its aggressive expansion plans in the region.
Graham Auld, a 40-year private banking veteran, and Victoria Drysdale will open a new client office in Edinburgh.
Auld has been appointed private client director reporting to John Williams, Brown Shipley’s private client divisional director. Drysdale will become private client manager.
Brown Shipley has ambitious plans to grow the Edinburgh office over the next 18 months. The office will provide high net worth clients with discretionary managed investment portfolios, banking services, pensions, financial planning and fund management.
Williams said: “Graham and Victoria will be a valuable addition for Brown Shipley. We have a very clear growth strategy going forward including investing in new client offices where appropriate."
He added: “Edinburgh is clearly an influential and exciting financial centre and it is logical for us, as a private bank, to have an office in the city and this will become an important location for us. With the new team, we have a highly experienced foundation from which to develop our presence.”
