Wealth planner Brown Shipley has appointed a new client director in its Manchester office.  

Lee Ramsden has 13 years’ professional experience and the firm says he will be responsible for developing new client relationships and building upon Brown Shipley’s established client base in the North West.
 
Mr Ramsden joins from Barclays Wealth, where he was a private banker and wealth planner for over six years assisting a number of HNW individuals.

His experience includes managing a client portfolio of over £250m and he brings “a range of key skills covering investment strategies, wealth structuring and complex planning structures.”
 
Prior to Barclays, Mr Ramsden also held the roles of senior wealth planning manager at Lloyds Bank and wealth advisor at Towry over a six year period.
 
Jonathan Sherlock, head of Brown Shipley’s Manchester Office, said: “We are delighted to welcome Lee to our Manchester office.

“Lee is an experienced and proven wealth management professional with a wide range of skills.

“I look forward to working with him as he seeks to develop new client relationships and further expand our client base across the North West.”  
 
Mr Ramsden added: “I am excited to be joining Brown Shipley at the beginning of what looks to be an exciting year of continued growth for the business.

“I look forward to working with the rest of the team and continuing to provide an excellent, fully integrated wealth management service to clients.”
 
Mr Ramsden’s appointment follows the recent hiring of Richard McGregor to the new role of national head of Court of Protection.
