SIPPs firm Curtis Banks has appointed a new chief financial officer.

The firm revealed that it has hired Dan Cowland to the role, with effect from 8 July, subject to regulatory approval.
 
Mr Cowland’s previous role was as finance director for WH Ireland Group plc, a role he held for five years. 

Prior to this, he was finance director at Shore Capital Stockbrokers from 2010 to 2014.

He has also held senior finance roles at Macquarie Bank and Lehman Brothers.
 
Curtis Banks says that current CFO, Paul Tarran, will remain a member of the board “for a period of time, to ensure an orderly hand-over, before standing down”.

Will Self, CEO of Curtis Banks, said: “It is a measure of our quality and future plans for growth that we’re able to attract high quality people to Curtis Banks, and I’m delighted to welcome Dan on to our Board as CFO.

“He brings a wealth of experience, having grown listed businesses in our sector, and is a great addition to our strong management team as we look to build on our momentum.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to outgoing CFO Paul Tarran for the enormous contribution he has made to the business over a number of years.

“It has been my privilege to work alongside Paul during my time in the business, and we wish him all the best for the future.”

Mr Cowland said: “I’m delighted to join Curtis Banks at an exciting time in their journey.
