Evelyn Partners strengthens Leeds investment management team with experienced appointment

Evelyn Partners, the leading integrated wealth management and professional services group, has bolstered the investment management team in its Leeds office by appointing Lauren Glaister as a Partner.

Lauren joins from LGT Wealth Management’s discretionary fund management business (previously part of abrdn) where she spent three years and was a Senior Investment Manager. Prior to LGT and abrdn, Lauren worked for Tilney Investment Management (now Evelyn Partners) and Redmayne-Bentley. She specialises in managing investments for private clients and is a Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment. Lauren is also a trustee of Leeds Hospitals Charity and sits on their Finance & Performance and Audit & Risk committees.

Evelyn Partners’ Leeds office - which is based at City Point in King Street - provides a range of services, including financial planning, investment management and tax advice, to help clients manage their personal and business financial affairs.

Ian Gibson, Managing Partner in Evelyn Partners’ Leeds office commented:

“I’m delighted to welcome Lauren to our Leeds investment management team. Lauren is a former colleague, and I am looking forward to working with her again as we continue with our growth plans in the region over the course of 2024. I know that Lauren’s extensive, senior investment management will be a great asset for our business and clients.”

Lauren added: “I am thrilled to be joining the Evelyn Partners team in Leeds, I know many of them well and feel it will be an excellent and important move in my career. The investment proposition offered is second to none and along with my new colleagues I believe we have a real opportunity to further the superior growth already achieved.”
