10 December 2007<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wise Speke, the North\u2019s largest investment management firm, has announced it will adopt the name of its parent company, Brewin Dolphin, from early 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Widely known and well respected within the regional marketplace for over 100 years, Wise Speke is also one of the North East and Cumbria\u2019s largest employers with a workforce of more than 300 staff. The investment management operation, which has offices in Newcastle, Teesside and Keswick, is now gearing itself up for a hugely important year. 2008 represents Wise Speke\u2019s tenth anniversary as part of the Brewin Dolphin Group and in the Spring the entire Newcastle operation will also be relocating to the newly built Time Central building on Gallowgate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brewin Dolphin is the largest independent private client investment manager in the UK with over \u00a321 billion funds under management and 39 offices nationwide. It is also one of the country\u2019s most respected investment bankers to small and mid-cap companies. Wise Speke\u2019s name change will be used to build on its existing skills base, heritage and values by further harnessing the profile, kudos and expertise afforded by being part of the wider Brewin Dolphin network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles May, recently appointed head of Wise Speke in Newcastle, said: \u201cBack in 1998, when we first joined the Brewin Dolphin group, we celebrated becoming part of a business that was totally focused on investment management and generating wealth for our private clients, charities and pension funds. Over the years, the relationship has been extremely beneficial as the business has grown at every level, not just in this region but nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInitially we chose to retain the Wise Speke name, but now we have decided to move even further forward and adopt the Brewin Dolphin name, harnessing the additional strengths this brings. We believe that over 100 years of high quality service and sound working practice will not only be enhanced by Brewin Dolphin\u2019s progressive reputation, but also provide us with an ideal platform to expand our business in the region yet further.\u201d<\/q><\/p>\n\n\n\n
