Commenting on the Appointment, Jamie Matheson, Executive Chairman of Brewin Dolphin said:
“John Cadwallader has been a tower of strength and has made a great contribution to the Midlands management and to the Group as a whole. Although he is retiring from full time executive duties, I am pleased that John’s expertise will not be lost to the group entirely as he has agreed to continue to work with us on a consultancy basis on a number of special projects.”
He continued:
“Looking to the future, I am delighted to welcome David to the Board of Brewin Dolphin and I congratulate him also on his appointment as Regional Managing Director. David’s immense experience in our industry will be invaluable to his regional team and Board members as we continue to exploit our solid presence in investment management.”

“I am delighted to take up this exciting opportunity. Brewin Dolphin has an excellent profile within the Midlands region as a whole and I am looking forward to working with the people and building further on this strong, solid foundation”
