Ms Murray joins the US banking giant from RBC Brewin Dolphin where she was an investment director, before which she was at North Capital Management.

Oliver Gregson, region head of J.P. Morgan Private Bank in the UK, Ireland & Channel Islands, said: “We are delighted that Gillian Murray has joined to head J.P. Morgan Private Bank’s growing team in Scotland. Scotland has for some time now, been a fast-growing hub for innovation and tech start-ups, attracting global interest and investment. Our dedicated local team strengthen our ability to better serve our clients and businesses across the country.

“Our journey in Scotland began over a century ago. Fast forward to today and the country has become a strategic hub for the firm. This rich history, when combined with JPMorgan’s resources, will aim to deliver unparalleled depth of global expertise, knowledge and capabilities for clients across the region. That means that you can call on our specialist teams to help with everything from investing, lending, financial planning, and philanthropy through to corporate transactions and support of operating businesses.”

He concluded: “As I stated when we expanded our advisor footprint earlier this year, our vision is clear: we are here to grow, to partner and to invest in the people and the communities that make Scotland so unique.”
