Coutts has marked its second anniversary in Devon with the addition to its team of James Hosking as a Private Banker. He reports to Peter Blatchford, Client Partner, and will be focused on providing support and advice to Coutts’ diverse range of clients in the region.
James joins Coutts from the Bank of Scotland Investment Service where he was a Client Manager, running a portfolio of high-net-worth clients across South Devon and Cornwall. Prior to this he was a Commercial Relationship Manager with HSBC in Plymouth.
He lives in Plymouth and enjoys playing golf, football and cycling in his spare time.
James Hosking commented: "Coutts is a company with a unique and prestigious history and a reputation for client service and wealth management expertise that is second-to-none. I am looking forward to helping further develop its attractive proposition within the region."
Peter Blatchford added: "James brings with him a wealth of skills and experience of working with high net worth individuals and developing new business. Since opening its office in Exeter at the end of 2008, Coutts has enjoyed an excellent two years in the South West and we continue to see new clients join us across the region. I am sure James will be a great help as we continue to expand further into South Devon and Cornwall."
