Barclays Wealth, 25 June 2008
Barclays Wealth, the UK’s leading wealth manager, has confirmed the appointment of Mark Embley to its High Net Worth Private Banking team. Mark joins Barclays Wealth as a Private Banker from UBS Wealth Management in Birmingham, where he has spent the last five years advising wealthy clients and focusing in particular on entrepreneurial wealth.
This move is the latest demonstration of Barclays Wealth’s commitment to the West Midlands, and recognition of the region’s importance as a centre of wealth and prosperity. With 16 new hires in the last 18 months and the announcement of Graham Nicoll’s appointment as Regional Centre Head last week, the Birmingham office is building its strategic capability and expertise to ensure it is able to service a broad range of clients' needs.
Mark will advise existing clients on how to protect, grow and enjoy their wealth. In addition he will assume responsibility for attracting new business from within the growing wealth in the West Midlands.
Commenting on the appointment, Regional Centre Head Graham Nicoll says: “The next year presents exciting new opportunities for us and for our clients as we broaden our experience and our capabilities. The West Midlands continues to thrive as a centre of business excellence which means there are an increasing number of individuals who require our services. As an experienced financial and wealth management professional, Mark will help to drive our growth and ensure our offering continues to be industry leading.”
Commenting on his appointment Mark Embley added: “I’m delighted to be joining this team, and an organisation with a truly holistic approach to wealth management and clients' needs. This approach is what attracted me to the business and is what I believe, in an increasingly competitive environment, will continue to set us apart from the market and represent the driving force behind our growth.”
Mark originally trained as a Chartered Accountant at Price Waterhouse in Birmingham, and then spent twelve years at Singer & Friedlander Investment Management before joining UBS Wealth Management in 2003. For the last three years he also has been Regional President of the Securities & Investment Institute in Birmingham.
