Manchester growth and funds milestone for Brewin Dolphin

STOCKBROKER and wealth manager Brewin Dolphin has reorganised its office structure, leading to the closure of its Stoke-on-Trent base, with seven staff moving to Manchester.

The team, based at Spinningfilelds, now stands at 45 and is celebrating a key milestone as funds under management have topped £1bn for the first time.

 

Divisional director William Thomson, also head of the Manchester office, said: “2013 has proven to be a record breaking year for both us and our clients. We’ve successfully integrated the Manchester and Stoke office, added seven new members to our team and built an ideal platform to take advantage of an uplift in market conditions for 2014.”

 

The firm said that long-serving director Neil Harding would be retained as a consultant after his planned retirement in late 2015.

 

Mr Thomson added: “We’re confident that our new sector focus, coupled with retention of great talent such as Neil, will ensure 2014 is an even better year. Neil has over 25 years of experience within the company, managing discretionary and advisory portfolios for private client family trusts, SIPPs and charities. 

“We’re all delighted that we’ll be able to continue working with him until 2020.”
