UBS toasts opening of new operation

UBS Wealth Management will tonight host a champagne reception to celebrate the launch of its Leeds-based operation.

The invitation only event will take place in the fourth floor Cafe and Bar of Harvey Nichols, in Briggate, Leeds. A formal welcome and introduction will be delivered by Jonathan Brown, head of UBS’ Regional Wealth Management.

UBS Wealth Management plans to hire more staff as it grows its market share. Richard Bottomley, who is overseeing the office’s development, said the new Leeds office of UBS should have eight staff by the end of the year.

Mr Bottomley said: “We will probably increase staff levels by another 50 per cent in the next two years.”
