Expanding investment management and Financial Planning group Tilney has appointed Gary Jasper as a Financial Planner at its Chelmsford office as it ramps up recruitment.

Mr Jasper joins Tilney from Coutts where he has worked since 2014 as a wealth manager and most recently as a director specialist adviser supporting sports, media and entertainment personalities.

Prior to Coutts he spent seven years at Natwest – three as a senior private banking manager at NatWest Private Banking, before moving to NatWest Private Clients as a wealth manager.

In Tilney’s Chelmsford team, he will deliver advice as part of the firm’s ‘two expert’ approach which sees Financial Planners paired alongside the firm’s investment managers to provide an “integrated wealth management service” to clients.

Richard Dawes, regional head of Financial Planning at Tilney, said, says: “Gary is highly experienced, having spent 17 years in the sector. He is extremely skilled at building and enhancing relationships with high net worth individuals and I know he will be a huge asset to the business.

“Our Financial Planning team across the country has continued to strengthen and grow over the past year, and it testament to the business that we are able to attract high calibre candidates to our team.”
