Wealth manager and Financial Planning firm Tilney has appointed Andrew Kirk as a Financial Planner as it continues a recruitment drive.

Mr Kirk will focus on the Cornwall region and joins the company’s Exeter team.

He arrives after a five-year stint at the HSBC where he was worked as a Premier relationship manager. Before this he worked at Halifax, where he held a number of roles over a decade, most recently as a senior financial adviser.

Mr Kirk will deliver advice as part of the firm’s ‘two expert’ approach, which sees Financial Planners paired alongside the firm’s investment managers to provide an integrated wealth management service.

Rob Chandler, regional head of Financial Planning at Tilney, said: “Andrew has an impressive track record and has developed a loyal customer base over the course of his career.

“He will be a valuable asset to the team and I am delighted to welcome him on board. Our Financial Planning team across the country has continued to strengthen and grow over the past year.”

Tilney manages £23 billion in assets from private investors, charities and professional intermediaries.
