Rowan Dartington opens regional office in Reading


Award-winning wealth management specialist Rowan Dartington has expanded into the Thames Valley – opening a new office at Davidson House, Forbury Square in the centre of Reading


The new office marks the continued expansion of Bristol-based Rowan Dartington throughout the UK, and adds to its offices in London, Chichester, Exeter, Hereford, Weston Super Mare, Cheltenham and its other recent new office in Nottingham.


The importance that Rowan Dartington places on local contacts is demonstrated by the appointment of John Scurlock-Davies to establish the new Reading office.


Scurlock-Davies previously established the Reading office of private bank Coutts, followed by senior roles at Credit Suisse and UBS, before joining Rowan Dartington. Scurlock-Davies said: “Reading – dubbed the UK's Silicon Valley – has a higher than average population of entrepreneurs, and with the rapid growth of financial services and technology companies in the region, it has become a hub of wealth creation.


“To ensure our clients fulfil their full wealth potential, receiving expert wealth management advice will be crucial," Scurlock-Davies said. "These new offices are a fantastic reflection of the commitment we have to the area. We want to be accessible and geographically close to our clients."


Rowan Dartington is a wealth management company providing stockbroking and investment management services for private clients, companies, charities and trusts. Rowan Dartington is also an ISA manager; and provides a range of other services including capital gains tax management, and SIPP & SASS investment management on behalf of its clients.


In addition to establishing new offices, since a management buyin in March 2011 the firm has made significant investments in new technology, research, and most importantly, its people. This investment, combined with a

culture of excellence, has resulted in awards for both performance and service.


"Rowan Dartington is privately owned, with employees and senior management holding a significant stake," explained Scurlock-Davies. "This means our interests are aligned with those of our clients.”
