Brown Shipley has further underlined its regional growth ambitions with the creation of a new role, based in Manchester.
Nick Cringle (pictured) will join in May as head of Brown Shipley’s Manchester office, while taking on the newly created position of regional head, North West.
Currently director of private banking at Arbuthnot Latham in Manchester, Cringle will take over from Jon Sherlock, Brown Shipley’s current regional office head.
The move will allow Sherlock to spearhead the wealth manager’s national growth ambitions “among its largest clients and focus on his growing client responsibilities”.
Cringle will report into Guy Healey, head of private banking and join Brown Shipley’s senior private client wealth management team.
Before Arbuthnot Latham, he spent over 20 years at Coutts, where his roles included global co-chief investment officer of Coutts International, based in Hong Kong and global head of tailored portfolio management, based in London.
Healey said: “Manchester and the North West is extremely important to Brown Shipley. The bank was founded in the region over 200 years ago and we continue to invest to maintain our growth momentum and to further strengthen the business.
“[Nick] has deep experience and expertise in private client wealth management, and will bring significant leadership experience to our existing teams in the region. I am confident that our Manchester teams will build significantly upon their successful heritage and track record through our integrated wealth management proposition.”
The hire follows the appointment of Lee Ramsden to the Manchester office, who joined from Barclays in January as a client director.
