The new hires will increase WH Ireland’s investment manager headcount, which is currently 70 to 10% and are also expected to increase the group’s £2.5 billion of assets under management.

Richard Killingbeck chief executive WH Ireland said: "These appointments are evidence of our growth initiatives to extend our capabilities and selectively add high quality individuals and new offices, following the successful opening of our Isle of Man office earlier in 2014.

"We believe that they will significantly augment our funds under management over the next 12-18 months," he added.
