Ward and Lester, who were with Charles Stanley for around twelve and nine years respectively, are the latest losses for the investment manager, which has seen a number of departures this year.
The two will sit within Walker Crips’ London office, which offers private clients discretionary, execution only and advisory services.
Walker Crips chief executive Rodney FitzGerald said of the hires: “We continue to seek high-caliber advisers as we grow our client base. Holly and Edward are both very talented individuals whose proven knowledge and experience will complement the existing team in providing a first-class service to our clients.”
