Main Move

Funds of funds specialist T Bailey has recruited Philippa Gee to head up its marketing and communications team. Ms Gee was previously investments director of Torquil Clark. She holds qualifications in personal and corporate financial planning, taxation and trusts and mortgage advice, and has long been regarded as one of the country's most respected investment experts.

Ms Gee has worked on a number of product launches, chaired Torquil Clark's investment committee and has served as a consultant to the Treasury.
