Quilter has taken on David Butler and Simon Church as regional development managers in London.

Butler spent the past two years at Cofunds as regional account manager, responsible for helping regional and national independent financial advisors develop their businesses. Before that, he spent five years at Insight Investment.

Meanwhile, the firm said Church was most recently a sales development manager at Metlife Europe Limited, where he focused on establishing relationships with IFAs, as well as working on bespoke client investment strategies.

In other developments, in May the UK wealth manager made its second major board appointment since being acquired by private equity house Bridgepoint, naming Mark Macleod as chief financial officer.

Quilter had £7.9 billion (about $12.3 billion) in funds under management at end June. Based in London, the firm has 12 regional offices across the UK and Ireland plus an offshore office in Jersey.
