The company is pleased to announce the appointment of Eddie Clarke as the new chief executive of Brewin Dolphin Ireland and member of the Irish board. Eddie joined Brewin Dolphin in November 2019 from Investec where he was head of its Irish wealth management business before its acquisition by Brewin Dolphin. His appointment follows an internal and external search process. He will be supported by Daniel Macauley who is being promoted to deputy chief executive and will also join the Irish board. The changes are expected to take effect in April subject to regulatory approval.
The current chief executive Matt Minch is stepping down from his role after 25 years with the company. Matt joined Tilman as a founding director in 1995. Brewin Dolphin acquired Tilman in 2011 and Matt was appointed as chief executive in 2015. Matt will remain with the company to look after his clients before retiring at a later date.
David Nicol, chief executive of Brewin Dolphin said: “I would like to thank Matt for his commitment and dedication over the last nine years. He’s been passionate about our employees and our clients and he’s led by example when it comes to upholding our company’s values. He has successfully grown the company over the last five years, has played a significant role in the recent acquisition of Investec’s Irish wealth management operations and leaves the business in good shape for further growth.”
David Nicol, chief executive of Brewin Dolphin said: “During the last seven years, Eddie has grown the business he’s run impressively. He’s done this by listening to what clients want, and by organising the business to deliver that for them. He’s got a great track record and is a strong team leader. We think he’s an excellent appointment at a time of growth, when the opportunity to provide much needed advice in Ireland has never been greater.”
Eddie Clarke, chief executive designate, Brewin Dolphin Ireland said: “I have known and admired Brewin Dolphin for a long number of years. Matt and his team have always enjoyed an excellent reputation of dealing with integrity and putting the client first. I am absolutely delighted to be chosen to lead the business at this exciting time. I believe our combined offering of financial planning and investment management offers clients a holistic solution that is second to none in the market. I look forward to completing the integration of our two businesses in Ireland and seizing the opportunity our combined scale affords us to grow the business over the long term.”
Daniel Macauley is promoted to deputy chief executive of Brewin Dolphin Ireland and will also join the Irish board. Daniel joined Brewin Dolphin in 2012 as a Divisional Director having worked in a number of senior investment management roles for the previous 20 years. Daniel has key management roles in portfolio management, investment governance and business development in Brewin Dolphin.
