Morgan Stanley Quilter, the offshore banking arm of Morgan Stanley, has appointed Nick Morel-Orchard to manage the strategic direction for all of Morgan Stanley Quilter’s offshore offices, including the recently opened Dublin branch, which continues to be managed by Brian Weber.

This new role brings together responsibility for the management and development of all of Morgan Stanley Quilter’s businesses outside the mainland UK, which includes offices in Jersey, Guernsey and the Republic of Ireland.

“I’m delighted to be taking over this role,” says Morel-Orchard. It offers me the opportunity to assist the team in Dublin in building a robust long term business in the same way that we have done in the Channel Islands over the last thirteen years, taking the resources and culture of Morgan Stanley Quilter and matching them to the needs of our local clients.”

Morel-Orchard has run the Jersey office of Morgan Stanley Quilter since its creation in 1991. In 1996 he took also over management of the Guernsey office. He has 23 years experience in investment management.

Tim Childe will step up to take over the day-to-day management of the Jersey branch, reporting to Nick Morel-Orchard. Childe has over 15 years’ experience in the investment management industry, having previously worked at the Jersey offices of Mercury Asset Management and HSBC.
