The position is a new one, which the company said had been created in order to drive the company’s expansion, particularly into overseas markets. Collier will be based in Sussex and Wimborne, Dorset, a company spokesman said.
Prior to joining Platform One, Collier had been marketing director at Brown Shipley, the UK private bank.
Platform One founder and managing director Michael Fordham said Collier’s previous experience in the high net worth sector made him well-suited to his Platform One role.
Platform One was launched by a group of investment companies and advisory firms in August 2011, with the intention of establishing a platform-based wrap service for high net worth clients and their advisers. The founding partners include the WAY Group, London & Colonial, Ward Goodman Wealth Management, s615(6) Ltd, European Pensions Management and Cheviot Asset Management.
