DFM London & Capital has hired two business development officers to take charge of its adviser relations in the north and south west of the UK, as it looks to take advantage of a greater number of intermediaries outsourcing their investment management.

The firm also announced its head of business development Bruce Ely-Johnston would be leaving for pastures new stating it "has not been possible to retain him given the position he has been offered".

The two new hires come in the form of Chris Hood, from Scottish Widows, who has more than 25 years’ experience in working with advisers in the north, and Graham Robinson who joins from Zurich Financial Services and has responsibility for the south west, including south Wales.

Meanwhile, Paola Forsberg who joined L&C in 2010 has been promoted to business development manager with responsibility for the south-east and London area.

Richard Leigh, co-founder and managing director of London & Capital, said: "As an independent, boutique wealth manager, we have always placed considerable emphasis on the quality of our client service. Countless research studies show that quality of service and the relationship advisers enjoy with their business partners is far more important than investment performance – indeed any of the factors one may consider when choosing to outsource."

In their new roles Hood and Robinson will be responsible for adviser liaison, offering support and assistance to those looking to utilise L&C’s suite of income and growth managed portfolios.
