The succession of hires is part of a wider push by CBAM to expand and enhance its high net worth services across the UK.
Chief executive Martin Andrew said: “Our high net worth proposition is going from strength to strength, and Alastair’s appointment is further evidence of the merit of our offering as we continue to attract the highest calibre of investment professionals.
“The appointment of select, high quality individuals is central to the expansion of our Scotland office, which in turn is a crucial element of our growth plans across the UK.”
