Tilney Smith and Williamson adds to its investment management team

Tilney Smith and Williamson has strengthened its Birmingham investment management team by announcing three new appointments.

Amongst the new appointments includes Gavin Hill, who joined the firm’s business development team, while Dr Aidan France and Sophie Pounds became assistant investment managers.

Hill, who has over 20 years experience in financial services, joined the firm from Quilter Cheviot where from 2018 he was business development manager.

Prior to that he spent nearly 16 years as a senior retirement consultant at LV= where he developed a portfolio of IFA accounts across the Midlands.

Aidan joined the group from Five Wealth Limited in Manchester where he worked from February 2020 as a financial planning manager and previously a trainee financial planner.

Meanwhile, Sophie Pounds joined the firm after completing an accounting and finance degree at Liverpool John Moores University.

During her course she took a year out of study to complete an industrial placement at BDO where she worked as an audit assistant.

Dr Adam Parker, managing director of Tilney Smith and Williamson’s Birmingham financial services team, said: “We have ambitious plans for expansion in the Midlands in the coming years and are therefore investing in growing our team.

“As we look forward to moving into our new landmark offices at 103 Colmore Row next year, I am delighted to welcome Gavin, Aidan and Sophie to Tilney Smith and Williamson.”
