Evelyn Partners grows IFA team with two business development managers

Evelyn Partners has appointed two new business development managers to help support the continued growth of its IFA business. Ben Sims and Joe Sheehan join the team to cover Central London and key national accounts respectively.  

Sims joins the firm from LGT Wealth Management, where he spent nine years in the business development team working with financial advisers. 

Sheehan is an experienced relationship and development manager with over 20 years asset management experience. Most recently he was regional investment director at BNY Investments. 

Sims and Sheehan join the growing UK IFA team at Evelyn Partners, which now works with some 800 IFA firms across the country. 

Craig Wright, head of UK IFA Services at Evelyn Partners, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Ben and Joe to our growing IFA business. We are focussed on bringing in experienced hires who have a great track record of working with IFAs. 

“As part of our strategy of supporting the IFA market with MPS and DFM services we are continuing to recruit and will have further announcements in coming months. I look forward to working closely with Ben and Joe as we give more IFA firms access to our high-quality investment solutions.”
