HFM Columbus appoints two managers from Ward Consultancy

HFM Columbus has appointed James Scott and Ross Ibbotson as private client financial consultants in its London office. Both previously worked at Ward Consultancy as private client managers, where Ibbotson has spent eight years. Scott has also worked for Coutts private bank. The pair will work with joint MD Charlie Walker to expand the wealth manager’s City and ultra-high-net-worth client base.

HFM Columbus is the result of a joint venture between Surrey-based Hoyland Financial Management and Columbus Financial Advisers of Tunbridge Wells. It provides independent financial advice to high-net-worth individuals and business owners, which includes the distribution of structured products.
