Mr Wilson was most recently a director at UBS Wealth Management in Edinburgh. He had senior roles with the Royal Bank of Scotland Group and at Adam & Company between 2010 and 2015.

Alan Mathewson, chief executive said: “I’m delighted to welcome Matt and Gerard to our team in Edinburgh. These appointments are a statement of our intent and commitment to building a strong business in Scotland.”

Matt Hoyne said: “I am excited to join Brown Shipley to lead the Edinburgh office. I look forward to being part of the Edinburgh team working together with Quintet colleagues across Europe to develop new client relationships and engage existing stakeholders.”

Mr Wilson said: “I’m pleased to continue working closely with Matt and with our new Edinburgh colleagues. Brown Shipley will allow us to best meet the wealth management needs of private clients in Scotland through providing the personalisation normally associated with a boutique whilst also having access to broader capabilities within Quintet.”
