Arbuthnot Latham hires two new private bankers to bolster the bank’s Media team
Arbuthnot Latham, the private and commercial bank, has hired Greg Ripley-Kinchin as a senior private banker, and Jack Akister as a private banker to join the private bank’s media team. Over the last three years, the media team has more than doubled the number of clients it services, which is now in excess of 2,000, as it continues to attract excellent bankers with extensive experience in the space. Their appointments bring the total number of bankers within the media team to 15 and further strengthens Arbuthnot’s offering.
Greg has worked in the sector for over 10 years, starting his career at NatWest where he worked as a senior personal banker. He then moved to RBS’s private banking division under Child & Co and Drummonds, before joining Coutts, where he focused on the sports, music, TV, and film industries. Within his new role, he will look after clients in the creatives space.
Jack has over five years in financial services and holds several qualifications, including IAD and CeMAP. In his most recent role as a private banker at Coutts, he specialised in supporting clients within the sport, media and entertainment sectors. At Arbuthnot, Jack will work with clients within the sports, creatives and interactive sectors.
Within their new roles, Greg and Jack will focus on delivering tailored banking and wealth solutions to clients, furthering Arbuthnot’s commitment to relationship focused banking. Greg and Jack will collaborate with teams across the bank to ensure their client receives the highest level of service and are matched with the individuals best suited to meet their specific needs.
Stapledon, Robert, head of media banking, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome two additional bankers to our media team, which continues to be an area of growing focus for the private bank. The sector is presenting an increasing number of opportunities, and we are actively searching for new areas where Arbuthnot can best position itself to sustain its strong growth trajectory. Greg and Jack each bring unique strengths and expertise to the team that will significantly enhance the service we are able to deliver to our clients.”
