Wealth manager and Financial Planner Rathbones has appointed Bruce Saunderson as a senior director of wealth planning as it looks to boost growth in Scotland.
Mr Saunderson, who will be based in Glasgow, brings over 20 years of experience advising private clients, families and business owners.
He joins from Trinity Bridge where he was private client director. Other previous roles include senior positions at PwC, Grant Thornton and Maclay Murray & Spens.
Rathbones said his appointment demonstrates its ongoing commitment to supporting growth across Scotland.
Angus Kerr, area head for Scotland and Northern Ireland at Rathbones, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Bruce to Rathbones. His technical expertise, integrity and client first approach make him an invaluable addition and central to our growth agenda.
“Bruce brings significant depth to our wealth planning capability and will help us continue to grow our presence across Scotland and Northern Ireland.”
Rathbones said it had delivered cost and revenue synergies well ahead of its original £60m target following the merger.
Funds under management and administration (FUMA) hit £115.6 billion as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: £109.2 billion), helped in part by market recovery.
Operating income rose to £923m (2024: £895.9m).
