Correction: An earlier version of this article's headline incorrectly stated Brewin had appointed a new head of Manchester. We sincerely apologise for the error.

Wealth manager Brewin Dolphin has made Lucie Gordon its new head of office for Newcastle.

Ms Gordon will conduct her head of office duties in conjunction with her existing role as head of intermediary sales.

She succeeds the previous head of office, William Baker Baker, who will retire from the company at the end of 2021. In the interim, Mr Baker Baker will continue to look after his clients as a senior investment manager.
