Aberdein Considine Wealth has appointed Ross Leckridge as a chartered financial planner for its wealth management operation.
Leckridge will work for the wealth management operation’s newly created Edinburgh division of its financial planning team.
His appointment was welcomed by Aberdein Considine Wealth chief executive officer, Jen Paice, who said: “The roots of our business may be in the North East of Scotland, where we continue to nurture lasting client relationships.
“However, we’re ready to bring the benefits of our trusted face-to-face financial planning to more people across the country.
She added that Leckridge’s appointment, alongside the development of the firm’s financial planning team in Edinburgh “makes this a reality”.
“His role as a chartered financial planner reflects our commitment to providing the highest standards of professional and best practice as we grow,” she continued.
“Combined with the legal and conveyancing services across the wider Aberdein Considine business, we are uniquely placed to support clients as their life evolves and be there for the conversations that matter.”
Bringing over 20 years’ experience in financial services, Leckridge is a fellow of the Personal Finance Society and joins from Johnston Carmichael Wealth where he was both head of proposition and a chartered financial planner.
Leckridge added: “AC Wealth delivers the gold standard in everything it does, and I’m excited to bring my experience of the Edinburgh area to build the brand’s reputation as a leader in Scotland’s financial planning sector.
“I’m looking forward to hitting the ground running in 2024 and helping the business grow this year and beyond.”
