European Wealth Continues Strengthening Management Team
Adam Suggett appointed as a Financial Controller
European Wealth (AIM: EWG, EWGL), the fast growing wealth management group, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, European Wealth Management Group, has appointed Adam Suggett as a Financial Controller. Adam joins from Hume Capital Securities plc having previously been a Manager in Grant Thornton's Capital Markets team.
Commenting on the appointment, Rod Gentry, European Wealth's Group Chief Executive, said:
"As a business that was launched in preparation for a post RDR environment, a core strength of the Group is our back-end technology platform and associated internal management processes. We are delighted that Adam will be bringing his considerable skills and experience to our expanding team as we continue to build our presence in the market."
In the first half of 2014, European Wealth saw its assets under management and influence increase by 24.2% to £0.82 billion. In June, European Wealth completed the acquisition of IFA business Compass, its first since listing on AIM in May 2014, and fifth in total.
