Cazenove Capital builds on its regional presence with key hires

Cazenove Capital, the UK Wealth Management business of Schroders, is today announcing the appointment of five senior hires to boost its regional presence. Portfolio Directors Simon Pearson, Richard Walker, Simeon Livesey and Mark Mace join from UBS to cover the North West and Robert Nye joins from LGT Vestra to cover the South West.  Future plans are in place to open a new office in Manchester in Q1 2021, and to establish a local presence in Bristol, Birmingham and Leeds. Simon Pearson and Robert Nye will be responsible for heading the respective teams in Manchester and Bristol.

Today’s announcement forms part of Cazenove Capital’s strategy to extend its current business with Business Owners and Entrepreneurs by hiring in the regions. Expanding our regional presence will ensure that more business owners, entrepreneurs and other wealthy families can benefit from personalised local client service and the breadth of Cazenove Capital’s investment and wealth planning offering.

Mary-Anne Daly, Chief Executive at Cazenove Capital, said:

“This is an important step in Cazenove Capital’s strategy to widen our established franchise with the many talented founders and executives of successful businesses across the UK. The recent hires are a testament to Cazenove Capital’s standing as an employer of choice for experienced advisers attracted by our client-centric culture and reputation for providing high quality advice.”

“We are excited to have attracted such high calibre individuals and I look forward to working with them.
