In April 2020, Brown Shipley completed the integration of NW Brown & Co.
As a result, NW Brown’s Cambridge office will become Brown Shipley Cambridge and NW Brown in Norwich will convert into Brown Shipley Norwich.
This is a segment of Brown Shipley’s overall growth plan to add scale and uncover regional opportunities.
The acquisition was announced on 20 June 2019 and adds to Brown Shipley’s existing offices across the UK.
However, Quintet Private Bank registered a net loss of €44m in 2019 compared to a flat 2018, following acquisitions, investment in people, and costs related to a rebranding exercise.
The 2019 performance was hit by costs associated with the takeovers of UK-based NW Brown and Zurich-based Bank am Bellevue.
Quintet’s revenues for the 12-month period ended 31 December 2019 were €443.1m, in line with the previous year.
Group expenses increased to €470.5m in 2019.
Client assets at the end of December 2019 totalled €81.5bn, versus €72.6bn a year earlier.
