Mark Hendry, Evelyn Partners

Evelyn Partners, the leading integrated wealth management and professional services group, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Mark Hendry as a partner. Mark, who joins Evelyn Partners’ professional services business, will help establish a new practice providing clients with cyber security services.

For the past three years he has been Director of Cyber Security at DWF, the global provider of integrated legal and business services.

Tom Shave, partner at Evelyn Partners commented: “Cyber risk has remained at the top of C-Suite risk reports for many years now and I’m delighted that in Mark we have someone with extensive experience that can provide clients with senior-level advice in this important area.

“The new practice will help our clients to address cyber security issues such as meeting the exacting standards introduced by recent and upcoming regulations, the expectations set by business partners, consumers and insurers, as well as defending against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats being faced by modern businesses”.

Mark added: “I’m excited to be joining a forward-thinking firm that has a genuine desire to provide top-class advice and services to clients. This is something I take personal pride in myself so culturally Evelyn Partners feels like an excellent home.

“The firm holds some amazing client relationships across the business advisory and asset management practices, and I know from personal experience how significant cyber-risk is to both businesses as well as individuals.”

Peter Ironside, Daemon

Daemon, a digital transformation consultancy with a vision to use technology to make the world a better place, announced today that it has appointed Peter Ironside as chief of markets. In this position, Peter will be responsible for continuing to grow the business in line with its ambitious plans to scale up its operations, both in the UK and internationally.

Peter spent eight years at KPMG as a Director, before moving onto a Managing Partner role at Gartner for three years. At Gartner, one of Peter’s main focus areas was to increase collaboration between Gartner Consulting and Research, developing new approaches to strategic account relationship building and partnering.

In his new role at Daemon, Peter will be using his insights to help enable Daemon’s North Star ambitions and provide strategic counsel on evolving and scaling the business, building on the momentum the business has built in recent years.

Peter will now begin working closely with Daemon’s Founders Steve Bennett and Calum Fitzgerald, as well as the other executives to continue bringing people, tools and data together to drive the organisation’s opportunities for growth.

Peter commented: “I am delighted to officially become a Daemonite. I’m excited to start this new chapter of my career and I’m looking forward to working closely with the exec in implementing new ideas and continuing Daemon’s sustainable growth in the technology consulting industry.

“I’ve noticed Daemon’s ‘people first’ approach to technology, and their willingness to push boundaries; I’ve been impressed with the progress they’ve already made and the calibre of their technology SMEs.”
