Standard Life Wealth, an investment specialist for private clients, has appointed five people to boost its team.
The latest expansion brings a total of 15 new recruits to Standard Life Wealth this year.
The appointments will be made up of two senior client portfolio managers, Alastair Garvie and Gregg Henderson, one client portfolio manager, John Payne, and two client portfolio manager assistants, Eileen Morrison and Clare Messham.
They will be based in Birmingham giving Standard Life Wealth a third fixed location in the UK alongside Edinburgh and London.
Richard Charnock, Standard Life Wealth chief executive officer, says: "I’m delighted to welcome another five people to join us at Standard Life Wealth. In this year alone we have seen the team expand by over a third which highlights our commitment to growing the business. This expansion not only creates a vehicle to enable us to meet current business demands but will also give us a dedicated resource in the Birmingham area. The team has extensive experience in the discretionary fund management industry which makes them ideal candidates to form our new office."
