Barclays taps into intelligence
Barclays Wealth has bolstered its ranks in Glasgow with three appointments including the hiring of an ex-RAF intelligence officer.
The news follows last month’s appointment of Gordon Scott as director of private banking in the city.
Scott was head of Kleinwort Benson’s Edinburgh office before the bank decided to close its operation north of the Border and service Scottish clients from London.
Among the trio of new faces at Barclays is Gair Brisbane, who joins via a recruitment scheme designed to “source talent from diverse professional backgrounds”.
Brisbane served as an intelligence officer for six years before a three-year stint working for the Royal Air Forces Association as director of Scotland.
Iain McMeechan and Kenneth O’Donnell also become private bankers in Glasgow.
