Brookes joins from Towry where he looked after a large number of private clients during his six year tenure.
The move is yet another positive signal from James Hambro & Partners, which has grown its assets to £1.2bn in the last three years while Schroders Private Bank’s Christopher Macklin was recently appointed as business development manager.
Prior to Towry, Brookes had previously worked for Marscholleck, Lautenschläger and Partners where he advised predominantly legal professionals.
Brookes has been recognised as a rising star in his profession, is a Chartered Financial Planner and a Fellow Member of the Personal Finance Society.
Jamie Hambro, chairman of James Hambro & Partners said: “Simon is a highly respected and experienced financial planner and he is an excellent addition to our company. He will add valuable skills and resource to our existing team, helping us to deliver the best financial planning and wealth management services to our clients.”
Simon Brookes comments: “James Hambro & Partners is a very successful business, built on a great ethos of delivering the best customer services to its client base. The team is made up of hugely experienced individuals and I am looking forward to working with them.”
