Amati has appointed Gavin White to its sales team. Gavin was previously Head of UK Wholesale at Octopus Investments and, before that, Head of UK Intermediary Sales at J O Hambro.

Gavin joins Amati following the recent hiring of Mark Ingram, who joined the sales team in July from Jupiter Asset Management. Their appointments broaden the firm’s intermediary expertise and support its ambitions for the next phase of growth.

The appointments bring together long-standing professional relationships. Mark and Gavin previously worked together at Credit Suisse, while Amati Sales Director Jon Woolley worked with Gavin at J O Hambro before joining Amati. Jon said: “It will be great to work with Gavin and Mark, both of whom I have known personally for many years and who are highly respected across the industry.”

Rachel Le Derf, Head of Sales & Marketing at Amati, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Gavin to Amati. His extensive intermediary experience, strong industry relationships and client-focused approach make him an excellent addition to the team. Following Mark’s recent appointment, Gavin’s arrival gives us further strength and depth as we expand Amati’s reach and support our clients.”

Commenting on Gavin’s appointment, Dr Paul Jourdan, CEO of Amati, said: “Gavin brings in-depth knowledge of the UK intermediary market. His appointment underlines our continued investment in the firm’s distribution strength. We have some outstanding products and want to take them to a wider audience.”

Gavin White said: “Amati has built a strong reputation for combining specialist investment thinking with a clear focus on its clients. I am pleased to be joining a business with such a distinctive culture and look forward to drawing on my experience across the UK intermediary market to introduce its capabilities to new clients. This is a compelling time to be joining the firm, and I am keen to play my part in developing new partnerships and contributing to Amati’s growth.”
