David Denton (pictured) has joined Quilter Cheviot as a technical specialist, having spent 23 years with the various iterations of the group.
Quilter International was sold to Utmost Group in November 2021, with Denton leaving the business in January of this year.
He joined Royal Skandia in 1999, with the business morphing into Old Mutual International, then Quilter International during his tenure before its acquisition. He was head of technical sales and head of sales Europe at the time.
In his new role, Denton will be responsible for delivering technical knowledge and support to the Quilter Cheviot front office, including the distribution teams, Quilter Private Client Advisers’ financial planners and Quilter Cheviot’s investment managers.
Quilter Cheviot has also hired Dylan Jacobs as a business development manager for its Bristol office. He previously spent 14 years at Royal London Life Company.
Both will report to David Butler, head of distribution at Quilter Cheviot.
Michelle Andrews, Quilter Cheviot’s managing director, advice, said: “We are in a growth period, focused on hiring highly qualified individuals who will provide unrivalled technical provision on a range of issues.
“We want to offer our investment managers and financial planners, both internal and third party, exceptional service across the UK. These two hires help bolster our breadth of capabilities and ensure we can better support advisers; with really credible solutions that help clients prosper.
“David and Dylan each bring a unique skillset and a wealth of experience from the wider market. We believe they will all be great additions to Quilter Cheviot.”
