Franklin has more than 12 years experience within asset management, including two years at Threadneedle and five years at M&G.
Gent said: “In the past couple of years we have added to both the UK sales and client service team, making appointments on the sales side to aid our expansion into the life and platform business and on the client services side to ensure we continue to deliver the service quality our clients expect.”
