Wealth manager and investment firm Titan Wealth has appointed Scott Hamilton as its new head of sales.

He will be responsible for driving the growth of Titan’s Private Wealth business to expand its presence in the high net worth market.

He joins from Succession Wealth where he was business development manager. Other previous roles include sales positions at M&G Wealth and Virgin Money.

Former group head of sales Mark Livesey remains with Titan Wealth, taking on the role of group managing director where he will oversee the firm’s broader growth strategy.

Mr Livesey said: “We’re delighted to welcome Scott Hamilton to the team. His extensive experience in driving sales growth in the wealth management sector makes him an ideal fit for Titan Private Wealth.

"I look forward to working closely with Scott as we continue to grow the division and strengthen our offerings to clients. I’m also excited for the opportunities ahead in my new role as group managing director, where I’ll be focused on ensuring that Titan Wealth continues to thrive and expand.”

Last month Titan announced that it had acquired Financial Planning rival Independent Wealth Planners (IWP).

The acquisition will add IWP’s two trading businesses (IWP Financial Planning Limited and IWP Investment Management Limited) to Titan Wealth along with approximately £6.6bn of client assets.

The move will push up Titan Wealth’s total AUM / AUA to approximately £35bn.

Titan claims that following the acquisition, it will be one of the largest Financial Planning businesses in the UK, with more than £14bn in assets under advice.

Titan has been on the acquisition trail in recent times and in October signed a deal to acquire £7.9bn AUM Channel Islands wealth manager Ravenscroft Investments Limited.

Titan Wealth combines an independent financial advice offering with investment management and custody solutions.
