Florendine joins from MacMillan Estate Planning and has a wealth of professional services experience, having previously worked law firm Addleshaw Goddard.
Andrew McGlone, Chief Executive at Quilter Cheviot, said: “We are delighted to be strengthening the business in two teams where we see significant growth potential. Professional services and wealth management have a lot in common so we are keen to deepen our relationships in this space and see where we can help lawyers, accountants and many other professionals – both in their own financial affairs and those of their clients. Erin will play a key role on this given her experience.
“Climate Assets, meanwhile, continues to go from strength to strength, and we want to build on the momentum following the launch of the Growth fund last year. Sustainable investing continues to gain in popularity, and we are seeing real demand from advisers and clients for these solutions. It is great to have George on board to help highlight where we believe we have a leading investment offering with a strong track record.”
