Arbuthnot Latham expands North West wealth management offering with key appointments
Arbuthnot Latham (“Arbuthnot”), the private and commercial bank, is pleased to announce two wealth management appointments in its Manchester office (“the office”), as it looks to further build on its record growth in the North West.
Earlier this year the office celebrated its fifth anniversary with record growth, taking its regional balance sheet to £325m.
Since the office opened in 2016, the team has grown quickly from a small satellite private banking office to offering a full private and commercial banking service at its 4,000 sq. ft King Street office, which now hosts a team of more than 30.
The appointments are a testament to continued growth, with Lydia Brook moving from the London office to be the first locally based investment manager, and Rachel Wyatt joining as wealth planner, bolstering the office’s holistic wealth management offering in the North West.
Lydia Brook joins Arbuthnot Latham from LGT Vestra, before that she was at Barclays. As well as advising clients on their investments and managing discretionary portfolios, she will also lead the sustainable investment proposition and European equity research for the business as a whole.
Rachel Wyatt joins Arbuthnot Latham with 10 years’ experience as a wealth planner. She specialises in asset protection, estate, and retirement planning.
Andy Broughton, director and head of North West office said: “As a full-service banking and wealth management business, our clients expect us to be able to serve their needs using experts based locally, working alongside our team of regional bankers and so I am delighted to further support the growth of Arbuthnot Latham with wealth management and investment capabilities permanently based in our Manchester office.
“Both Rachel and Lydia have a track record of putting clients at the heart of what they do, and I have no doubt they will fit in well with our team as we all strive to support our clients throughout their business and personal lives.”
