She will also be responsible for connecting clients with a network of trusted professional advisers, helping them navigate the complexities of growth, succession and exit planning and ensuring they have access to the right expertise at every stage.
Reporting to Colin Monton, Head of Client Development – Corporate and Entrepreneurs, Harper joins from international legal firm Broadfield Law.

Working closely with a variety of trusted professional connections, I look forward to creating a number of long-lasting relationships that help create successful outcomes for our business owner clients.”
