Barclays Wealth has appointed Paul Burd as head of business services of Barclays wealth operations and head of operations, Glasgow, in a newly created role.

Within his remit he will also work closely with senior members of the existing Scottish team, including Mark Little, managing director of Barclays Wealth private bank Scotland and Northern Ireland.

It is the latest in a number of key appointments in the wealth management sector and will be a driving factor in the bank's attempt to growth the business in Scotland.
