Kingswood appoints interim CEO as permanent boss
AIM-listed wealth and investment management group has announced that it will be making Peter Coleman its permanent boss after six months serving in an interim capacity.
Kingswood has been with a permanent CEO since David Lawrence resigned in July after four years at the firm.
Fellow Chartered Accountant Coleman was then tasked with leading the company as it searched for a permanent replacement.
Chair David Hudd said Coleman has "strong credentials and has built positive momentum since joining".
Subject to regulatory approval, Coleman will now be made CEO and join the board as a director, Kingswood said on Friday.
Commenting on the appointment, Coleman said in a statement: "Kingswood is a great business with a solid client base, and I am really excited about our potential to continue to grow through putting our clients first with our excellent team of wealth planners, our investment credentials and the support of our skilled and hardworking colleagues."
