The enlarged Tilney Group has over 300 Financial Planners, investment managers and advisers supporting over 100,000 clients from a network of 30 offices across the UK, the company stated.
Tilney cited Mr Kissick’s “strong track record in creating and developing relationships with clients” in hiring him, adding he “strongly believes in the need for holistic advice”.
He will deliver advice as part of the firm’s ‘two expert’ approach which involves planners being paired alongside the firm’s investment managers to provide a high quality integrated wealth management service to clients.
Rob Chandler, regional head of Financial Planning at Tilney, said: “This is a very exciting time for Tilney as we continue to expand our financial planning teams across the country. Ashley is a very talented planner who genuinely puts the client at the centre of everything he does, and we are delighted to have him on board. As we continue to grow, we will be looking for more individuals of his calibre to join us.”
