Barclays grows Scottish wealth management team with new hire

Barclays has hired Alexandra Mancini as wealth manager, bolstering its wealth & investments team in Scotland to support business growth.

As well as looking after clients in the east of Scotland, Ms Mancini will have a remit for growing the bank’s entrepreneurial, SME and charity customer base.

Ms Mancini founded and is currently Chair of the Institute of Directors Scotland Young Directors Forum.

Since its launch in 2014, she has led the delivery of its programme for Scotland’s emerging directors, intrapreneurs and entrepreneurs. This includes facilitating access to business expertise, mentoring and networking opportunities.

With the current economic and political environment, it has never been more important for clients to have sound advice and flexible support in managing their investments.

“Alexandra’s commercial awareness and strong business network combined with her passion for nurturing excellent client relationships will make her a valuable addition to the team as we continue to grow our presence in the Scottish market.”
