Wealth manager Evelyn Partners International, the Jersey subsidiary of Evelyn Partners, has moved to a new office in St Helier and boosted its team with new hires.
The company has opened a new HQ on the island at No. 1 Grenville Street in the business district.

The International office has added to its wealth management and investment management teams.

• Ian Leverington joined Evelyn's Jersey team as associate director in December. A Chartered Financial Analyst, he has almost 40 years in wealth management and previously worked at Kleinwort Hambros Jersey as a senior investment manager.
Other new joiners include Steve Barnett as compliance manager.
