'I am delighted to be appointed Group CEO of Brooks Macdonald, the firm which has been my home for almost 20 years. Under Caroline's leadership, the business has gone from strength to strength and I am excited to take the firm forward on the next stage of its growth journey.
'At the same time, I know that in Richard I am handing the International business over to very capable hands and have every confidence in his ability to continue to build on the fantastic momentum to date.'

'I am proud to take on the role of CEO International, leading our business in the Channel Islands.
