New office for wealth manager

Wealth management firm Cazenove Capital is launching a Midlands office in new premises in Chamberlain Square.

Cazenove Capital - which is part of the Schroders Group - said the office provides the team with a local hub from which to offer advice to clients and entrepreneurs across the Midlands.

The firm's Midlands team is headed by Dave Price, who has 27 years’ industry experience and is a prominent figure in the rfegion's financial services community.

Prior to joining Cazenove Capital’s Birmingham team in January 2021, Mr Price was the Midlands regional head for UBS and was also a part of the team which established Credit Suisse’s Private Banking Midlands office. He is supported by eight other local wealth management specialists.

Mr Price (pictured) said: “As home to almost a sixth of the UK’s population, close to 650,000 vibrant companies and several leading UK universities, the Midlands is a significant economic hub, with numerous entrepreneurs, families and individuals able to benefit from Cazenove Capital’s expert advice.

“We look forward to using the new office in Birmingham as a springboard to continue deepening our long-established relationships with clients in the region and to building new ones.“

The firm said the office is equipped to support a full hybrid working environment as the UK embraces a more flexible approach to work in the post-pandemic economy, and in line with the framework set out by parent company Schroders in its Flexible Working Charter.

Karan Sejpal, team head responsible for business’ owners and entrepreneurs, and the UK regions said: “Business owners and entrepreneurs are the engine of British economic growth and innovation. The Midlands, in particular, is home to several, notable success stories in recent years, reflecting its attractiveness as a place to start and develop a business. 

“The outlook for the region is very exciting, with events like the Commonwealth Games bringing much needed tourism to the area, infrastructure investment deepening Birmingham’s connection to London, and the energy transition providing ample opportunity for graduates to leverage the region’s manufacturing and industry expertise to create transformative technologies and products.”
