Clarion Wealth, a wealth management specialist based in Cheshire, has appointed Keith Thompson as non-executive Chairman.
Thompson has over 50 years’ experience in the sector. He founded Taylor Knowles Financial Planning, a financial planning business in Lancashire, and was also a founding director of Altrincham and London-based Greystone Financial Services.

Putting their clients’ long-term aims first, they help hard-working business owners articulate and then achieve what they want from life. I am looking forward to supporting the team at Clarion during its latest expansion stage.”
