BREWIN DOLPHIN APPOINTS NEW HEAD OF OFFICE IN WINCHESTER

David de Kretser is joining Brewin Dolphin to head up its new Winchester office. David will join the company from Basingstoke-based IFA firm Aylwin Limited that Brewin Dolphin is acquiring for an undisclosed sum. The two financial advisers and support staff will move into Brewin Dolphin's new Winchester office after the deal completes in early 2019.

In a letter to his existing clients, David de Kretser said: 'I am pleased to tell you that my co-director Derek Langton and I will continue to look after your financial planning needs from Brewin Dolphin's new offices in Winchester. In future, you will benefit from the broader support and resources of Brewin Dolphin including the insight of their in-house research team.'

Jonathan Tweedie, Regional Director at Brewin Dolphin said: 'We are delighted to welcome David and his team to Brewin Dolphin and to announce David as head of our new Winchester office. He has a proven track record of providing excellent client outcomes and leading a high performing financial services business. I'm sure he'll be a success as he heads up the already strong team.

'We're seeing an increasing need for trusted and expert advisers to take the strain from those who need help with their finances in these uncertain times. We serve the financial needs of our local clients, with the strength and influence of the Brewin Dolphin name behind us.'

Brewin Dolphin moved its Bournemouth office to Winchester earlier this month to further grow its business in the South of England. The existing client-facing team includes Adam Jarvis, Hannah Dampney and Matthew Lyth that are now in the new office at 46 Jewry Street, Winchester. The company has 30 offices across the UK, Dublin and Jersey.

The acquisition is subject to regulatory approval.
