Executive director Jupp (pictured) was previously deputy head of the company’s midlands office, and will take over running the Birmingham office from Rafferty who will return to a client-facing role.
Jupp joined Quilter Cheviot in 1999 from Capel Cure Sharp, previously known as Albert E Sharp.
He said: “Sean and I have worked closely together for 30 years, in the last six years as head and deputy head of the Birmingham office respectively.
“Sean has led our office to great success and I am delighted to continue to build on our work with private clients and the local professional community to further grow our business for the future.”
Quilter Cheviot’s Birmingham office opened in 1994, it has since grown to become the company’s largest regional team with 42 staff members.
Head of Quilter Cheviot’s regional offices Richard Thorn said: “I would like to congratulate David in his new role and wish him every success. I also want to thank Sean for his ongoing commitment to the Birmingham office and its team over the last 23 years.”
