Private bank, Brown Shipley, has recruited Edinburgh based Graham Auld from Deutsche Tilney and will open a new client office in the city centre. Auld, who has over 40 year’s financial experience working in Edinburgh, will be joined by Victoria Drysdale also from Deutsche Tilney.
The team take up their new posts as soon as respective notice periods have expired. Auld is appointed private client director reporting to John Williams, Brown Shipley’s private client divisional director and Drysdale will become private client manager.
Brown Shipley have 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.
“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,” Williams says. “With the new team, we have a highly experienced foundation from which to develop our presence Graham in particular is extremely well known and connected in the City’s financial circles.”
Brown Shipley also has client offices in London, Manchester and Leeds – and in April this year announced it was opening a new office in Birmingham.
