Wealth Manager: Signia's Birmingham head on breaking the UK's second city

Since setting up the office in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, he is now in the process of recruiting a team of wealth managers to power the firm’s drive into the region.

He works closely alongside Martin O’Hare, the group’s chief investment officer who divides his time between Birmingham and the capital, but it is hard to believe he will not have more company in his office soon.

‘We are attracting exceptional talent to the London office and I am confident that we will attract like-minded talent to the Birmingham office.’
