This week’s North East appointments: Featuring Tier One Capital, Ad Gefrin and Advantex

This week’s round up of North East appointments includes Tier One Capital, Ad Gefrin and Advantex. Read on to find out more.

Eva Butler, Tier One Capital

Tier One Capital, one of the North East’s leading independent wealth management and fund management specialists, has further bolstered its support team with its latest appointment, Eva Butler.

As the newest member of the growing Wealth Management Support team, Eva will work closely with and support Tier One Capital’s team of highly experienced financial advisers who deliver independent, personal and bespoke financial advice to the firm’s clients.

Eva brings a wealth of experience to the growing Wealth Management Support team, having begun her career in the financial services sector in 2016. Her appointment follows the recruitment of Bianca Chibanda, also to the position of wealth management support, to enable Tier One Capital to serve a growing client base.

Paul Blight, head of wealth management at Tier One Capital, commented: “As we continue to grow as a business it is essential that we have sufficient resources to ensure our client services continue to develop.

“Eva has a huge amount of experience in the financial advice sector, so we’re confident she’ll hit the ground running, and help us deliver the excellent service we pride ourselves on, to all our clients.”

Eva added: “It’s a fantastic opportunity to be part of Tier One Capital’s team expansion. The firm has an excellent reputation for its client focused approach and encouragement for personal development, and I’m keen to develop my knowledge and experience and work alongside highly respected specialists on behalf of a growing client base.”

Daniel Evans, Ad Gefrin

Daniel Evans has been appointed head of operations at Ad Gefrin, the new Heritage Museum and Distillery in Wooler, whose doors will open to visitors for the first time early in 2023.

With 20 years’ experience in operations management and six of those in hospitality, Daniel’s professional credentials are impeccable. It was his passion for this uniquely Northumbrian project that struck the deepest chord with the Ferguson family whose drive and commitment has turned an extraordinary dream into an imminent reality.

Daniel commented: “I grew up in Blyth very close to the Fergusons’ original base, so I have always been aware of this family business with deep roots in Northumberland.

“When I heard about their vision for Ad Gefrin I just knew I had to be involved in some capacity, and I am absolutely delighted that my career and my passion for all things Northumbrian have given me this opportunity to lead the team.”

Daniel will be working closely with Ad Gefrin director of experience, Chris Ferguson, who added: “We were looking for a leader and a team player with a passion for people, and the enthusiasm and communication skills to achieve the highest standards of service excellence.

“Daniel very clearly meets these criteria, but he also has the special ingredient we are looking for in all our staff – a genuine passion for Northumberland and the history that inspired this project, and a commitment to make Ad Gefrin a Visitor Experience that wholly lives up to and exceeds the expectations set out by the Ad Gefrin brand.”

Steve Dobby, Tony Patterson, Raphael Akinkummi and Amanda Baxter: Advantex

Advantex, based at Follingsby Park in Gateshead, has appointed Steve Dobby as account manager and Tony Patterson as business development manager.

Both will be working closely with the senior leadership team to leverage their extensive industry knowledge and experience in consultancy and solutions development to create new business opportunities and provide greater support and insights for existing clients.

Also joining is Raphael Akinkummi as senior project engineer, who brings six years’ experience in routing and security to the position. His wealth of knowledge will enable him to work closely with customers to identify, develop and deliver “innovative” technical designs and ongoing support for a range of upcoming projects.

The move strengthens Advantex’s offering to existing and new business partners, as does the appointment of Amanda Baxter as marketing manager. She will focus on developing “personalised, informative” content to engage new audiences and strengthen customer relationships while building “greater awareness and affinity” for the Advantex brand.

Steve O’Connell, sales and marketing director, commented: “Our strategic investment in high calibre people continues to support our ambitious growth plans and will see us well placed to provide the long-term skills and services clients expect.

“The expertise these new appointments bring enables us to better serve our customers evolving needs while providing exceptional ongoing support. Digital technologies that improve business performance and develop critical infrastructures are now an essential part of any company’s development.”
