Kleinwort Benson, the UK wealth manager owned by Belgium's RHJ International, has made two hires for its offshore private wealth management business in Jersey.

Joining as head of business management is Andrew Warren, while Jonathan Hibbs has been appointed private wealth management support team leader.

Warren was latterly head of the relationship service team at Deutsche Bank’s private wealth management business, overseeing the Channel Islands, the Middle East and Africa. Hibbs also joins from Deutsche, where he was an account manager in the private client team.

Both appointees report to Clive Wright, managing director of Kleinwort’s offshore private wealth management arm.

Kleinwort also announced the promotion of Leigh Driscoll to private wealth manager; she has been with the firm since 2010 in a client contact capacity.

In other recent hires, towards the end of last month Kleinwort Benson appointed Jason Turner as an executive private banker within its private wealth management team.

Turner was latterly with UBS Wealth Management, where he was a client advisor within the private wealth management team, focusing specifically on entrepreneurs and sports and entertainment clients. Before this he advised partners at top law firms and senior corporate executives.

Kleinwort Benson has made private wealth management a priority area of business development.
