Wealth manager and Financial Planning firm Tilney is doubling the size of its discretionary investment management team in its Manchester office with three new hires, including a Chartered Financial Planner. 

The company says the recruitment is an important milestone in Tilney’s goal of boosting its investment team in Manchester to add to a team of 13 Financial Planning professionals in the city. 

The new hires are Andrew Ramsden, Ben Griffiths and Danielle Bamber, all from private bank Brown Shipley.

Andrew Ramsden is an experienced investment manager who has worked in private banking and wealth management for nearly three decades. He is both a Chartered Wealth Manager and a Chartered Financial Planner. 

He has worked for RBS, Coutts, Newton and BWD Rensburg and latterly as private client director at Brown Shipley since 2012. Apart from advising wealthy individuals and families, he is also a specialist in the management of investment strategies for personal injury and clinical negligence settlements and is a member of the Court of Protection Practitioners Association.

He will join Tilney, which manages over £24 billion of assets for private clients, families and charities, in early 2019.

Also set to join Tilney as an investment director is Ben Griffiths who will join next month from Brown Shipley where he has worked as a client senior manager since 2015 and where his clients have included entrepreneurs and sports professionals.

He started his career in Scotland at private bank Adam & Co. followed by an investment manager role at Cornelian Asset Management in Edinburgh, before moving to Brown Shipley. He is a Chartered Wealth Manager, a Chartered Member of the CISI and a member of the Court of Protection Practitioners Association.

Danielle Bamber recently joined Tilney in Manchester as an associate director in the investment management team. She is a Chartered Wealth Manager and a member of the Court of Protection Practitioners Association. 

Alan Edwards, head of investment management, England said: “The scaling-up of our investment management team in Manchester, alongside our sizeable operation in Liverpool, is a really important sign of our commitment and ambition to be the leading wealth manager in the North West.”
