Paul Frame, Head of Scotland and Northern Ireland at Tilney, said: “We are really delighted to welcome Jonathan to our team in Aberdeen. He brings a wealth of experience and local knowledge, having advised both private and corporate clients in Aberdeen and the east of Scotland for many years.

“At Tilney he will support private clients with holistic financial planning advice, including retirement planning, tax efficient investing and estate planning. Jonathan will work alongside our investment managers to deliver a really joined-up and bespoke approach to managing the financial affairs of our clients.

“Tilney is proud to be one of the few UK-wide wealth management firms to have offices in the three largest cities in Scotland and we are deeply committed to growing our presence in each of these. In Aberdeen we have recruited three new staff in 2018, with Jonathan Craig and John Milne joining as Financial Planners and Lisa Gaskin joining the Client Delivery team. As we go into 2019, we will continue to look to add new people across our offices in Scotland, including high calibre financial planners and investment managers as we see excellent opportunities ahead.”
