He joins from Kleinwort Hambros where he was a director.

Mr Lewis has 14 years of experience in the wealth management industry, including in portfolio management and private banking roles.

Mr Lewin said: “I'm delighted to be joining Tilney Smith & Williamson at such an exciting time for the business. In a fragmented marketplace, its position as the UK's leading integrated wealth management and professional services firm is unrivalled.

“Their track record of providing high calibre investment management combined with a successful and well-established Financial Planning offering is a hugely attractive proposition and I am excited to help take the business forward to further success."

At Kleinwort Hambros he was responsible for providing wealth management solutions to UK and international families, trusts and charities.

He was also formerly an associate director at Royal Bank of Canada Wealth Management and a private banker at Barclays Wealth and Investment Management.

The firm established a new investment management team at its Newcastle office in July. 

It has also been growing its Financial Planning team. The team now has 300 Financial Planners following the merger between Tilney and Smith & Williamson in September 2020.
