He will succeed Hall, who has served a six-year tenure as chairman of the Association of Private Client Investment Managers and Stockbrokers, at the group’s AGM on 31 October.
Hall first announced his departure at the Apcims annual conference last week and said it was “now time for a change”.
Ingram has worked in financial services since 1969, with some of his most notable roles those of managing director at Abbey National and chief executive of Caledonia Investments.
More recently he has been chairman of Collins Stewart Hawkpoint (prior to its purchase by Canaccord Financial) and non-executive director at Savills and Alliance Trust.
Ingram said: “The responsible stewardship and handling of personal long-term savings, which is the business of Apcims member firms, has more importance than ever. I am very much looking forward to my involvement in this vital area of financial services.”
Apcims represents 182 firms, within this total 119 members are private client investment managers and stockbrokers and 63 are associate members who provide related services to such firms.
