Brooks Macdonald chair Alan Carruthers has resigned from his role after a period of ill health.
In a statement, the wealth manager confirmed Carruthers has stood down with immediate effect, with senior independent director Richard Price assuming the role of acting chair.
Price said: “We are all deeply sorry that Alan is leaving Brooks Macdonald in these circumstances and we wish him a full and speedy recovery. Under Alan’s chairmanship the group has built real momentum towards our ambitious growth plans and I am confident those plans will continue to be executed successfully by Andrew Shepherd and his management team.”
