After stepping down from his executive career in 2019, Ross has served on investment management company boards including Polar Capital Holdings plc and four years as Chair of Witan Investment Trust plc.
Ruth Markland, Chair of Quilter plc, said: “I am pleased to welcome Andrew Ross to his role as Quilter Cheviot Chair. His deep industry knowledge and board experience in our sector will enable him to provide Quilter Cheviot with valuable insight and strategic perspective. I am confident that under his leadership, Quilter Cheviot will continue to thrive and innovate to meet the evolving needs of clients.
