Ex-rugby star joins Evelyn as a Financial Planning director
Wealth manager and Financial Planner Evelyn Partners has appointed former international rugby player Craig Dowsett as a Financial Planning director at its London office.
Mr Dowsett joins from Vintage Wealth Management Limited where he spent more than seven years working as an independent financial adviser.
He is a Chartered Financial Planner who specialises in working with business owners and families in all areas of their business and personal Financial Planning.
Before that he was a professional rugby player at Rotherham Titans RUFC and received representative honours for England Students Rugby, as well as full representative honours for Belgium.
Adam Osper, managing partner in Evelyn Partners’ London office, said: “Craig’s track record of working with external professional connections, developing plans for SMEs and owner managed businesses, make him a great addition to the team.
“Craig’s sporting experience playing international rugby provides him with a drive that will complement the rest of our Financial Planning team.”
Mr Dowsett said: “This will be a really important step in my career and I look forward to working with my new colleagues to provide our Financial Planning services to clients.”
Evelyn Partners was created following the merger of Tilney and Smith & Williamson in 2020.
With £55.4bn of assets under management (as at 31 March), it ranks as the second largest UK wealth manager measured by EBITDA and the fifth largest professional services firm ranked by fee income (source: Accountancy Age 50+50 rankings, 2022).
It has a network of offices across 28 towns and cities in the UK, as well as the Republic of Ireland and the Channel Islands.
