European Wealth has appointed Nigel Gilland and David Mellett to head up its new office in Manchester.

Mr Gilland has worked in the Manchester area since 1992, having moved to Albert E Sharp in 1996, which became part of Gerrard in 2001 and Barclays in 2004.

He was joined at Gerrard by Mr Mellett in 2006, who had previously worked within Barclays since 2003.

Rod Gentry, chief executive of European Wealth, said: “Since we commenced trading in 2010, we have expanded our geographic reach from the south east, to the west and south west and now we are able to offer our services to clients in the north west.

“With European Wealth’s strong investment performance, delivering above average returns for clients, and an emphasis on delivering a personalised service through local, trusted professionals, we believe that the Manchester office will quickly become a significant element of the group.”
