Supporting ambitious clients across Manchester and the North, Midlands and East of England
Manchester is one of the UK’s most dynamic regional economies, and a leading hub for financial services. With strength across professional services, real estate, technology and creative industries, it continues to attract entrepreneurs, business owners and high-net-worth individuals seeking specialist banking and wealth management in the Greater Manchester area and beyond.
For many of our clients, personal wealth, business interests, and future plans are closely connected. Managing that successfully requires more than products – it calls for personalised banking services in the UK, combining private banking, commercial banking and wealth management in a coordinated way.
We work with individuals, families, and business owners across the region who are:
- Growing, selling, or restructuring a business
- Looking for a more responsive alternative to transactional banking
- Reassessing wealth and investment arrangements as their needs evolve
- Planning for retirement, succession, or long‑term family priorities
We are based in Manchester city centre and serve clients across Manchester, Altrincham, Hale and Didsbury, as well as Cheshire’s centres such as Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, and as well as the wider North, Midlands and East Anglia. We work flexibly around you – whether that means meeting at your business, your home, or in our King Street office.
"In a fast moving city like Manchester, having direct access to someone who understands your full financial position makes a real difference. It means decisions can be made quickly, with clarity and confidence.”
Chris Wiltshire, Director and Head of UK Private Banking, Regional, Based in Manchester for over 14 years
