Leading international trust and corporate services provider Equiom has appointed Ken Chapman as its London Director.
 
Ken will join Equiom in January 2015, having previously held the positions of Head of Wealth Planning and Intermediaries for a large international private bank, and Head of Wealth Structuring at one of the world’s leading financial management and advisory firms.

Being a Board Director based in London, Ken will have the seniority to build on his and Equiom’s excellent contacts.  This will help ensure that London intermediaries and their clients receive an even better service from Equiom.  He will also be leading Equiom’s development of new onshore services for the London market and will be working closely with Equiom’s equity partners LDC to improve Equiom’s offering.
 
Ken has an extensive background in financial services with a particular focus on wealth and asset management for high net worth individuals.  He is a regular speaker at professional private client conferences and has worked with a global client base, helping them to structure and coordinate their complex financial affairs.  His particular expertise lies in working with international families based in the UK and helping to structure their financial affairs.
 
Reflecting on his appointment, Ken commented: “London is arguably now the world's major financial centre for wealthy international families and also in many cases where they choose to centre their lives. I am particularly looking forward to helping Equiom increase its share of this exciting market."
 
Sheila Dean, Equiom Group Managing Director, commented: “Ken has a dynamic approach to business and a successful track record.  His experience will be an invaluable addition to Equiom and I look forward to welcoming him to the team”.
