Europe-based Private Client Consultancy (PCC) has named Mark Hopcroft as managing partner of its advice network.
Hopcroft, who will help grow the advice network, was previously a regional director at St James’s Place, head of global accounts for Europe and Rest of World at Zurich International, and area sales director of north at Octopus.
The PCC Wealth Network delivers compliance, regulatory and business support services, delivered by technology support to help advisers focus more of their time and resources on client facing activities.
The network said it has “grown significantly over the last 12 months and is poised for a further period of growth”.
Andy Oliver, group chief executive at PCC, said “We are delighted to bring someone of Mark’s calibre and experience in to drive this part of the business forward.”
Hopcroft added: “The need for high quality international financial advisers and the provision of financial advice across Europe has never been more paramount and I’m thrilled to be joining at such an exciting and pivotal time in the network’s growth.
“We pride ourselves on providing high quality support, delivered in the most efficient and cost-effective manner and making advisers lives easier. Our ambitions for the network are huge and I can’t wait to meet our clients and continue the brilliant work the team has done to date.”
This comes a couple of months after the firm launched PCC Insurance and PCC Property to bolster its offering for clients.
