Killik & Co. announced today that Clem MacTaggart and Sarah Threadgould have accepted Paul Killik’s invitation to take on the joint responsibility of Managing Partner, effective immediately, as the firm looks to build on 35 years of success, and continue to deliver its vision of being the best wealth manager for families.
As Founder and Senior Partner, Paul Killik will now also assume the role of Chairman, for the growing wealth manager, ensuring Killik & Co’s continued independent Ownership.
Having both held Executive Board and C-suite positions at the firm for a number of years, MacTaggart and Threadgould have been selected for their complementary skill sets and industry experience. This strategic move forms part of wider succession planning and governance restructuring, that will see Georgie Killik instated as Chief Strategy Officer, overseeing the long-term vision for, and evolution of, the business.
Previously Chief Strategy Officer, Clem MacTaggart joined Killik & Co in 2006, and has been charged with formulating and facilitating all strategic initiatives and growth strategies, as well as spearheading the adoption of digital to enhance its client services offering.
Sarah Threadgould joined Killik & Co as Chief Marketing Officer in 2019 from Which? where she was Chief Customer Officer. Having spent extended periods at HSBC and Marks and Spencer, her client-centric approach has delivered unparalleled, insight-focused growth campaigns for the firm.
Paul Killik said:
“Clem and Sarah possess the ideal combination of skills to run the business day to day, lead the Senior Leadership team, and bring focus and drive to delivering our vision of being the best wealth manager for families.
“Killik & Co is one of the few remaining, independently owned wealth managers, advising clients on how to save, plan and invest for their families. Founded in 1989 in a chemist shop in Chelsea, it now manages over £9.4bn of private wealth, and employs over 350 staff across seven locations, with five high street branches.”
